Thanks Astro

I am so darn happy and relieved to be sober. Despite the absolute horrible year I had last year with the surgeries and the cancer treatments I maintained my sobriety. That was and still is the thing I have control over and nothing will sway me away despite how hard that av was and still bugs me. Life is too precious to waste on poison with no good outcome.

That's a great feeling to wake up to every day, isn't it? I can 100% relate!

"We will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it" ! Yeah, it was a painful ending for me, but wow what a life has opened up over the last 19 years!

Wow, now that's something to think about! I wonder if we've ever hiked past "our tree"?

One of my co-workers who's a few years older than me shared a thought last night........

"These are the youthful years of our old age"..... and then he shared that this is also the time in our lives when things start happening (strokes, heart attacks, dementia, etc)

I've heard it said that these years will be the most active ones of my life, I'll be doing more than I ever have, and I truly believe that. In some ways the conversation we had was slightly depressing, but it's also a reminder to me to cherish each moment that I'm currently experiencing, because I'll never know how many more years God has in mind for me.
