Hello All
Wasn't sure where to post this, but I know as we all reach(ed) for the bottle when faced with some uncomfortable/confronting,etc feelings or emotions, I thought here would be as good as any. Anyhoo, Sunday I was feeling pretty sorry for myself; everyone with their family and friends, beautiful sunny day, well I'll just have my own little pity party, went out in the garden, but that just seemed to make things worse, thoughts of a nice cold beer started in my head... I just sat, not doing anything, not consciously thinking and, after a few minutes a smile appeared on my face! I don't know why and when I wondered about it, I laughed! I had sat there doing nothing and my mood had changed!! As everyone says, this too will pass, and it surely, surely does. But this was the first time for me without a drink and without consciously busying myself with something else. I just sat and did nothing. What a remarkably wonderful feeling
And strangley, I'm reading a book, Tought Times Never Last, But Tough People Do and one of the many uplifting quotes was: "When things get rough don't move. People and pressures shift, but the soil remains the same no matter where you go."
love
