Ladies and gentlemen its "Thunder lips" Thursday. Can I get a holla!!
I remembered this morning a reflection I used to have every time I would get some solid sober time behind me and go back into thinking I was missing something that was life affirming from a beer tap. I would be into full on drinking and dealing with the lovely depression and self loathing. I would think, man, I was so happy during that time I was sober. I really was. Man I want that again.
I realized this morning that I am in that sober space. That happy space. I can skip the bait and switch promise from the beer tap. No matter how many days you have, just realize that if you slip you are gonna look back at where you are now and want this happiness again. So why leave it?
Also thinking about how I sometimes hold back on taking a vacation or buying something, or just taking a few minutes to put my face to the sun and smile. So today's quote is simple but poignant;
"While we are postponing, life speeds by." Seneca.
Wake up and live.
