Some Days are Easier than Others

Every day a new beginning. Every day a new start. Sometimes I have to start my day over at any given point during the day to regroup.

Last Monday my heart was overflowing with gratitude with the unconditional love and support of so many people as I celebrated SIX YEARS of SOBRIETY!!! It’s hard to put into words how appreciative I am, especially knowing that not everyone has support of family and friends. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.

Later that evening, Steven & I went to see The Rolling Stones. I’m not a follower of theirs, but familiar with their music. WOW, did they perform!!! Mick Jagger blew me always. I can only imagine what they were like in their younger days. Thank you Steven for insisting we go (if it weren’t for him I’d probably be a recluse!)

As the week progressed, life’s inconveniences started trickling in. The breaking point was when my AC went out. Oh my… 85 degrees inside your house can really test a person… I complained. A lot. Logically, I knew this was temporary and there was a simple solution- like the flip of a switch I knew was overlooked after maintenance check…

Life is filled with blessings, trials and inconveniences. The important thing for me is to work through it, talk it out with a loved one allowing me to process the situation at hand. It gives me clarity. It gives me healing. It’s not stuffed or buried. It’s dealt with allowing me to move forward. This is something I learned in recovery. Thank you 12 steps!!!
