I hope you all had a good rest and are ready to face your day. I'm having a rather difficult time thinking up anything profound for a topic at the moment. So I guess I'll just tell you where I'm at. I'm feeling peaceful, tired, and not too many thoughts are in my head right now.
I've come through some major stressors in the last few weeks, some good, like my sister's visits and all of the good work we've done, and some difficult, like dealing with my ex and resolving the financial situation with him to my satisfaction. That has been very difficult to deal with and has stirred up a lot of feelings in me, because it hasn't only been a matter of working things out with him--it has also meant a lot of soul searching and battling with myself. Of course, you all know, too, about my dealing with my feelings about my daughter's growing up and getting ready for college! Your Mayor is feeling pretty drained right now!!
I have been having a lot of dreams, and I have been using them to guide me in understanding my true heart about how I feel. I also sometimes have some incredible insights into how I feel in those moments when I have just woken up before "rational" thinking takes over. I try to hang onto those thoughts and feelings to stay in touch with who I really am inside to help to guide me in my decisions.
We all have lots of things that we are dealing in our lives--feelings, issues, problems to solve. Things that demand patience, maturity, perspective. We're doing it without falling back on alcohol or numbing ourselves. (At least most of the time for me! )
What are you trying to deal with these days? What's it like doing it without alcohol?
Hoping you have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
