Connecting with the world — Family

I had a lady come up to my table and she  stared at the different names of the soaps, never picking them up and smelling them, which was very unusual.  She looked up and said "thank you for what you do" as tears welled up in her eyes.  I knew immediately she had a family member in addiction, a heartache moms know.

But yet, the older I get the more I realize that I don't have control over much of anything.  Yes, I make plans to do this or that, but so often events interject into my day that sabotage my plans, leaving me feeling defeated.
