As Gottalife said...nearly everything has changed!

So I will limit it to two of my favorite "changes" - I have an evenness to my nature and reactions to, well, any and everything, that I did not have before (in early life and definitely not while drinking heavenly). That is an amazing feeling. And, I have refound the Christianity I was raised in and dedicated to in my teens, but on a grown up and very different spiritual level, so to speak.

Also - living in 1, 10, 11 and 12 (I'm an AA-er so that's acceptance; ongoing amends as needed; spiritual practice and fitness; and service to others) keeps me in my own lane, at peace with myself and others, and living the best life possible. I have answers and new behaviors I've kept learning and improving in almost 17 months.

As one of my fave quotes from Emily Dickinson said:
"Hope is the thing with feathers/
That perches in the soul/
And sings the song without any words/
And never stops, at all"
