I have tears in my eyes.....I have never told any of you this, but I went through a massive breakdown when I was 16. I tried to kill myself...I tried very hard. God most definitely saved me. No doubt about it.
I climbed out of that dark place to some extent, but not completely until I got sober, finally, 3 years and 2 months ago.
I honestly thought the chemical scramble that was/is my brain would never straighten out. It is though.
I still cry at the drop of a hat....and I can cry for hours.....and I do not like that about myself. I want to live in the light....
Anyway....just my truth. I am glad to be alive....it really is a miracle. ♥

I loved this Daily Truth from the Brave Girls Club, hope it helps someone else today. Heres to all of us Brave Girls & Guys!!
Your daily truth from Brave Living...
Dear Hopeful Soul,
Sometimes winter can last so long, or be so cold and dark and difficult that it seems like it will last forever.
This is not just for the actual season of winter, but for the winters of our lives….the times when things that were very very good seem as though they have died.
Winter is a peculiar time, however….because there is so much going on that cannot be seen, SO MUCH that is restorative and beautiful and lovely and important.
It is a time of rest for the plants and the animals…and maybe just maybe, it is supposed to be a time of rest for us, too. It is a time when everything is restored and renewed and built back up to get ready for the hard work of spring…the renewal, the rebirth, the new life.
What if we took it all into our own souls and had a time like this...a time that we give ourselves full permission to experience? A time when we are simply restoring, resting, renewing and building strength for what is to come?
Because no matter how hard the winter is….spring is going to come. No matter how dead the world may look, it is going to come back to life….as green and beautiful as ever. The sun is going to shine and everything is going to grow again….as soon as it is time.
Living in this hope is a happy place to be, and enjoying the seasons as they come is a happy place to be…..please live in that beautiful hope.
You are so very loved.
xoxo

Thought for the day
A.A. Thought for the Day
Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink. Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everything I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing. Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?
Meditation for the Day
I will discipline myself. I will do this disciplining now. I will turn out all useless thoughts. I know that the goodness of my life is a necessary foundation for its usefulness. I will welcome this training, for without it God cannot give me His power. I believe that this power is a mighty power when it is used in the right way.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may face and accept whatever discipline is necessary. I pray that I may be fit to receive God’s power in my life.

Two fly over my house most everyday. One in awhile they land for a few crumbs.
