Right now, in this moment and for the last few months I have lived in peace.My home is so quiet and peaceful, if you ignore the fact I live right next to a main road that is. I hope i haven't jinxed it. Just being able to relax and not be tense waiting on the next crisis to hit or the next argument to erupt. I have to admit, Im still not used to it and I can drift away into the land of when is something bad going to happen? when is my peace going to be disturbed.
I know that life wont always be peaceful, I have a family of 3 children who have all being affected by alcoholism, me too and so I know that life wont and cant be forever peaceful the trick is to enjoy the peace while its here, to live in the moment and leave the past and future where it is. Thanks for reading.x

SO AGREE "the trick is to enjoy the peace while it is here" b/c even as in bad things....this too shall pass...even the good stuff...so i relish it...chew slowly and enjoy b/c even the good, this too shall pass..in life change is inevitable....during the bad, i take extra care of me, knowing, this too shall pass....so i don't get too up...too down b/c it will level out in end........and i agree...staying in the moment.......and love the "leave the past and future where it is" Lovely message, (((((((((((hugs)))))))

Living in the moment and not waiting for the next shoe to drop, priceless! I am so glad you are finding peaceful moments on your journey. I too wrestle with this and am so much better outside of relationship. I am so glad you are finding your serenity, I find it more and more until it is now odd when crisis mode hits and I am seriously unprepared to deal with it. It is actually nice not to have to be like the meerkat always standing alert watching for swooping hawks. Sending you much love and support on your journey!

I look forward to this feeling. There was no A here this morning and I felt SO good knowing I could walk without tip-toeing, turn on the vacuum when I needed to, stay out of the rain and call out for the dog to come inside instead of having to go stand near him and point and hiss "come in" for fear of disturbing A. Being able to make normal noise like a normal person.
Soon every day will be like this, yay!!!
