Like a child, I want to choose only from a menu of: fun, relaxing, and highly lucrative. 
Regarding my family of origin, there is no action to take…no matter how differently I want for things to be. I will know in my core when the time is right to do something different. For today I will choose to detach with patience and faith that I cannot force people, places, and things to be different just by taking big action(reaction). We always have choices, but sometimes the menu (our life circumstance) appears to offer equally displeasing options; like- pain or more pain.
With regards to my children and my Sweet Greg, I choose to be present, loving, and gentle with myself. I want to be all that I can be for those who count on me and love me in ways that feel wholesome. I choose sanity and kindness. Those two things are totally badass! So grateful that recovery has provided more expansive menu selections.
What will you choose today?
