Today was a new day. I could have sat home feeling sad...I could have hunkered down in loneliness....I could have lived someone else's existence....I had a choice.
I went to the park with my kids, and we had a picnic. I left my cell phone behind, and we sat in the grass on a blanket and had lunch. We went for a walk along the river, and came across an unbeaten path....for a fraction of a second, we thought about it, and then we just took it. Me and my three kids. As we walked into the shadow, IT happened.......our eyes met a beautiful scene. We stood, surrounded by a flock of deer. On every side we saw big black eyes and noses. So close and intimate that we could have reached out and touched them. I know it was an affirmation.
Take the unbeaten path, and you will be rewarded...even when the light is dim, the air is cold, and you don't know where you are headed, stop and enjoy the gifts your HP has offered you.
I feel a sense of peace today that I have not felt in a very long time. And it is a miracle I will not abandon.
For my family, I want to say again how appreciative I am for the support I have received in such little time. Thanks to your words of encouragment, and my HP, I am remembering what it feels like to live.
Thank you Jen that was really nice. One of the great th ings Iheard that changed my life was "DON'T MISS THE GOOD DAYS" when worried about someone elses life I missed alot of great stuff. Glad your learning it much younger than I. Take care of you and regardless of what others do YOU will be okay.
God's gift to us is life- our gift to God is what we do with it.
What a great choice, enjoying a beautiful afternoon with the kids.. Then God just sends you a sign telling you that everything will be okay.. I think we need those signs they help me get thru those difficult days.. Congratulations, and keep posting.. !! This board has literally changed my life.. I have grown more in the 10 months i did in years.. I am stronger today and it is thanks to my faith and my friends here on this board.
Wow, that must have been awsome.....nature, just peaceful nature. I totally understand about the unbeaten path......the path I have been on is half-way to china I have walked it so much...lol
Life is a precous gift, when we start living outside the addits life wonderful things happen, you have just proved that.....
I feel such joy inside. i see you ..... surrendering your will... to your inner spirit. Letting Faith and Hope become you ...... believing in your Higher Power ( HP/God.) Making the choice to just see what is ahead and not projecting. such a peaceful and wonderous Day for You......plus.... even more the blessings it was shared with your children
I think of a wonderous time... a day., that helped me to realize I was progressing with the help of the program. A moment ....Im remembering thinking to myself and as I stood righ there., in the moment.. and said. OK, I CAN do THIS. LEt Go and LEt GOd. I can also do it One Day At a Timewith my HP/God guiding. it became ... easier.... to allow my self to put one step in front of the other... being in the moment...then slowly moving forward. finding my very own inner peace. slowing down the thoughts and being more certain where and of what they would be.... for Me. sweet.
