As ODAT suggested today I have been looking at the year in review, more accurately I have been re-reading posts that I have started and all of your responses as I have been making the journey, best I can, from sickness to healthy life. I needed reminders of how I got to where I am right now. My divorce will be final mid-January, almost exactly 2 years from the first time I posted here. Last year I became more committed to my program and all of you held me up when I needed it most.
I am posting with a bit of melancholy today as I look at where I was when I first came to MIP, but also hope and optimism for me and all of us who are working on making our lives the best they can be. I am so grateful for all of you sharing your ESH on a daily basis here. Every time I come to these boards, without fail, I read something that I needed to at that moment. Just as in a meeting someone will say something in a share that is just what I needed to hear at that time. I guess that is HP hard at work for all of us.
Anyway--it's another thank you to all of you. I am still working at deciphering what I hear in my life that is the disease talking, (my AHs and mine) and what is the healthy part of me trying to come to the surface and keep breathing. I finally made it to a F2F meeting yesterday--I will make it a point to get to those more consistently.
Hoping for a peaceful Sunday--for me and all of you!
I love this page and the exercise. It is amazing to see how far I have come in a year. Appreciate all the good stuff and see how I responded to the difficult times with a healthy response filled with courage and a little wisdom
I try to do this review each night but the yearly one is more powerful
I love the idea of looking back through old posts. Sometimes I read my old journals to remind myself that 'nothing changes if nothing changes'. It's good to see you recognize your growth and change this past year! Hugs to you!!
