Living in the moment


Hi all!


Thought I would share this poem that my al-anoner cousin wrote. lol


It really makes sense to me as an al-anon .... not conference approved..but good for thought.


 


I hid my sorrow, and I hid my pain....


'til I forgot I was out there....


in the rain.


I've no idea where I'm going....


no idea where I'm at...


don't see any land...keep on moving..


an oar in each hand.


Not sure I'm going to fight...


not sure I'll have to...


but I might...


Can't be sure I'll get it right.


I'm just gonna keep on rowing...


water everywhere...


meeting head on whatever is out there...


Living in the moment...me and God.


by Sally Hill 2006


 


Love and Hugs,


Irish

Thank you Ally!


I think that's where most of us are .... life is happening all around us and a lot doesn't look good....but we have to keep going, one step at a time ...and somedays I am screaming..Someone throw me a paddle please!!!!  LOL 


As long as we keep our God (HP) invited into out lives we can keep going, knowing He is with us.


Love and Hugs,


Irish

Alanon is my Boat, the tools and slogans are my oars.  Some days I forget to use them though. The cool thing is I'm not alone in this boat, I've got you all to remind me to "keep it simple", "let go and Let God" and you help me gain a true perspective of what's going on when I lose myself.
