The amount of gratitude I have for the love in my life has no measure.Sometimes when I am alone, I sit and think about all the love that surrounds me today, it is a miracle.Five years ago, I was so lonely and sad and did not think life was going to be anything more than fake friends and failure.Why would things get any better??
And in the most unusual place, at the most desperate hour- a light started to appear.It was faint, but very much aglow.As time went on, that light got brighter and brighter, and it started to warm my cold and broken heart.It was love- the light of my life.I started to have hopes and dreams again, I started to want more for myself, started to know it was possible to be more for my child.That love made me love myself again, and I loved myself unconditionally for the first time in my life.I knew that a gift like this could not be mine forever without the cleansing of my soul.To perform such a task would take great patience,open mindedness, and bravery.The beast within me had to be put to rest, and it was long overdue.
To think that love for another can make you want more for yourself, to be more for that love.Does that make sense?? If you love someone as I do now, it will!
Today, I know of love, and redemption, and peace.I am surrounded by the glow of everlasting light, and even when the winds of the night blow in ever so abruptly- my light outshines.How beautiful it is to be.Just to, BE. ]]> hairgirl http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/hairgirl/1451-giving-thanks-thanksgiving.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/hairgirl/67-comfort-my-methods.html Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:19:32 GMT I have found that the traditional AA/NA way of life is not completely my cup of tea.I do, however utilize the texts, and the ideals of the 12 steps.I find that what I have chosen with using online... I have found that the traditional AA/NA way of life is not completely my cup of tea.I do, however utilize the texts, and the ideals of the 12 steps.I find that what I have chosen with using online support as my main guide in recovery, to be much more benficial in my journey.
Life has really turned around for me and my daughter.I cherish every moment we have.This was the first Christmas holiday that I was truly and genuinely happy.No worries, no fakeness in my smile, just genuine happiness.It feels so good to find this place of peace in my heart and mind.I love God and accept his presence in my miracles.I long to make others more at ease, and to share my joy however possible.I did things for others this year, but I did them without expecting anything in return.That was a big difference for me.It felt great to help someone who truly needed it!
I am so used to reading what I have written in the past, so much sorrow and so much trying to find this place I am now.It will feel nice to look back on this to see I have found the glory in my life finally.! ]]> hairgirl http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/blogs/hairgirl/67-comfort-my-methods.html
