Sometimes in Sobriety...

when everything is going great, you can still experience overwhelming periods of sadness...out of seemingly nowhere...

just an update...my life is wonderful...i love sobriety...

the relationships with my family are awesome...my wonderful Mother and Sister are so kind and loving...my children are terrific...

just spent three weeks with my daughter and grandchildren; had a marvelous time...she is happy...with a new job and excitement of her upcoming wedding...we picked out dresses, and did some planning...had an amazing time...children really 'keep you in the moment'...lol

when i returned home, i ended up spending some time with my Mother and Sister at their home; it went really well...i was so impressed with the overall visit...

then i came home, and spent the weekend with my Son, who has over four months sobriety, and is doing very well, working with his sponsor, and learning to live life on it's own terms...i have my son back...for which i am so grateful...

so, when on Sunday, after working with another alcoholic, sharing my experience, strength, and hope, i had to wonder what was going on, when i was overwhelmed with a blueness, that lingers still...she was a mirror of my past...

one thing i find myself realizing...still...is that all life, in and of itself, is a mirror...

we cannot know joy, without knowing sorrow...

the potential goal, i suppose...is to experience whatever it is that you are going through...don't get trapped there...by disisively accepting or rejecting...whatever...and look at what can be learned by every experience you have...

live freely in whatever your Universe unfolds...continuously...in the moment...

similtaneously...

joy can dance within sadness...

tears can cry through laughter...

strength is stronger having gone through pain...

share your experience, strength, and hope...with another...

recovery is hope...

chaos is the very energy of peace...

let angels cry...

tears are water for the soul,
greif cannot be contained...
the sun shines there beyond the clouds,
so dear one, let it rain...
pain is the stepping stone of grace,
feel and know it's depth...
you must be empty to be filled,
your very life, a gift...
overwhelming sorrow,
gives birth to joy beyond...
nature releases all that's held,
and waves it's magic wand...
soon your soul is singing,
in harmony with truth,
let angels cry, through your eyes,
true nature's way to sooth...
