The Language of Letting Go, Dec. 31
DECEMBER 31
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Affirming the Good
Fun becomes fun, love becomes love, life becomes worth living. And we become grateful.
--Beyond Codependency
Wait, and expect good things--for yourself and your loved ones.
When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best Higher Power and His universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. Claim it, and it is yours.
See the best in your mind; envision what it will look like, what it will feel like. Focus, until you can see it clearly. Let your whole being, body and soul, enter into and hold onto the image for a moment.
Then, let it go. Come back into today, the present moment. Do not obsess. Do not become fearful. Become excited. Live today fully, expressing gratitude for all you have been, all you are, and all you will become.
Wait, and expect good things.
Today, when I think abut the year ahead, I will focus on the good that is coming.

Oh bother....thank you, Honeypig! I needed this today. I have a bad habit of sitting around waiting for 'the other shoe to drop', so to speak.
OK....so I'm going to try this today!!!!

Just got what I needed...I had a major rant on here last night and when I woke up this morning I knew I wanted to sit and think about what things I could do different this year for myself and my family - including my AH.
Thanks HoneyPig - this was the springboard I needed to put those thoughts together. Hope you all have a blessed New Years!!!

Haven't been here since October. Still not letting go like I should. Son has been in ER 2xs, 1 sober house, kicked out of yet another treatment facility for attitude. Had him home for Christmas (what a wuss, I was for that) He drank while home. Kicked him out, and has been in crappy hotels, and now on the street again. It's cold, and my only hope is that he misses a court date Jan 8th, and he goes to jail. Thank goodness, I am in therapy but need al-a-non. It's hard to find good meetings. No excuse. Therapists says prepare for him to die. So sad. I want a healthy 2015 for myself! HNYE!
