Been missing you!

Hi folks,
I haven't been around in a while. But I have been catching up on everyone and seeing new member posts so it made we want to reconnect!
By all the posts I have read,so much has happened in a couple of months!

I have been very well. Nothing is really different in either of my guys but I have continued to grow stronger. ( with the occasional slip into enabling!) I am really loving my life and choices right now. I am happy in my own skin these days and no longer look to other's moods and feelings to decide how my day is going to be.
My son is still doing his marijuana thing, but he has a good job and a new home rental he is proud of, so he is feeling good about himself and feels like he has a lot to lose now so maybe his priorities will change ... or maybe not! But I'll take the independence for now! And its nice to hear positive phone calls.

So happy to hear you are in a positive space and things are working out.

Buddha says that "facing our pain and suffering honorably is the only way we can grow."
Letting go of the causes of suffering is a process. Sometimes it simply means letting be...not trying to get rid of an experience, but softening into a state of allowing. To set the burden down.

Perhaps this is where you are with your son.

I love this quote!! this is exactly how i feel about my life right now. The good times in life rejuvenate us and let us see the beauty in the world but the trials in life are where we grow into the person we are capable of being.
