flawed... but cleaning up so well

i add this song today simply because i love it and enjoy it every time i hear it.

i am co-facilitating a group for hiv+ women around disclosure and creating healthier relationships. today a woman who has been isolating basically for the 2 years she has known her status, came to group and released a lot of her frustration and pent up angst. i absolutely loved being a witness to honest emotional regurgitation like that. i am humbled by the experience and blessed for the opportunity.

and today i am in my cups (to quote bill w.), as i have received a call from a local hospital's social worker. she has heard of me somehow, has googled me, and wants to solicit some assistance with clients who are gay men between 20 and 24, hiv+, and addicted to crystal. she stated she doesn't know how to help them and wanted to know if i might offer some insight. frankly, i am not sure if i can or not. i do have some experience kicking tina, but i am much older and i was done dancing with her before i quit. i am not young and seemingly invincible as most guys that age are. but i am willing to try. and moreover, i am so very blessed that someone is seeking my advice about anything, considering i wasn't able to wire a doorbell a few years ago because i was so ding-ee myself. my journey and my struggle gain some merit if i can assist someone else.

universe - thank you.
