This really jumped out at me. It is okay to feel, and the only way to get past the feelings is to walk through them.
Leading a simple life is such joy.
I get up in the mornings, let the dogs out, and make coffee.
My puppy, baby Ku'a, is always full of face kisses after she's gone out to do her business.
I sit in my home office, read my meditations, and sip my coffee.
The house is quiet, and when I say quiet, I refer to no more insanity of active alcoholism in my home.
I am still discovering who I am, and probably will be till the day I die.
I promise you, this business of recovery for us is worth it.
