The blue cough drop 2/28

Last week was a busy and draining week with the boys I nanny for. It was longer hours and lots of running around.

It’s also challenging because the boys are two young rambunctious and super active beings who I need to keep “safe” first.

They love to beat each other up, wrestle, push each others buttons…set each other up for torment basically.

But they are full of life and I laugh more than ever with these two.

On one of these days I was admittedly in my head a bit…and I was wanting the time to possibly pass a little bit quicker.

I reached into my jacket pocket and I pulled out a blue cough drop. I typically have the red kind so the blue stood out.

I remembered that my friend in recovery Bootsie had handed me a blue cough drop in a meeting about a week back and this was from him.

On the wrapper of the cough drop there was a message – it said:

“You’ve survived tougher.”

This is my higher power working in my life. I laughed and I knew the truth of that statement and I got grateful straight away.

Gods grace and divine timing yet again.
