one day at a time



ok, so holiday weekends can be every emotion and I am so full of so many emotions it has made me weepy.  At times it is good to have extra people around and at times we look forward to the regular daily routine.  It is time for me to focus on one thing, one day or one moment at a time.  Change is constant which in some ways is a very good thing and in other ways very bittersweet.  Just wanted to say to all that are lonely in a crowd or lonely all alone, that knowing this MIP family is always here to listen is such a constant support that I am so very thankful for.  Blessing to all!

A great reminder.  We do not travel this long journey called recovery alone.  You will never know who you will meet along the path.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,

ddub,

Am feeling a bit lonely myself this morning. I took my hubby to the airport early (5a.m.) this morning for his flight to Anchorage..but it's out 20 yr anniversary today!!! whaaaaaaaaaa. I'm always a little off kilter this time of year anyway. Our daughter that passed away was born on Dec. 3rd and even though it's been 19 yrs. I still feel the loss.
I have to remind myself not to get lost in my thoughts and that I have so very much to be grateful for.

Yep, I have been feeling super lonely over this holiday and this board helps me to cope. Its like a warm fire in a fireplace in a lovely cottage that is just open and waiting for me to enter whenever I want to or need to.

For me, in this place I am visiting my sister (the rural Midwest) there is also such a strong energy around pairing and being paired- the cold nasty weather, the distance between places, the tight knit little communities- if you are single you really stick out like a sore thumb and its like: "what the heck is wrong with you?! Where is your husband/boyfriend?!" No one says anything but the looks are enough to communicate it all. Just feel like to odd man out, the third wheel, etc.

My residence is in a place that is not so strongly rooted in this- much more transient, breezy, warm sun-shiney place and the pressure to be part of a couple is much much less. Its also more metropolitan and a lot more diverse in every way imaginable.

To be understood here at MIP is a gift. To be in recovery and have someone know what that means. Gearing up for the next holiday. Trying to have a good attitude and appreciate what I have.

In support,
Nancy
