so calm this morning. Realise that there may be stuff happening that I can do nothing about. It is what it is. Time I went back to work so will negotiate a phased return from 20th may.

i love the calm the morning brings. a time for my inner self to reach out. and the simple routine of having a cup of coffee, stepping outdoors, looking at the sky and clouds, feeling the air around me soaking the newness. i live in a rural area with only the occasional vehicle driving by. i am blessed where ever i happen to be, because my life has purpose and i have found the spiritual side in this life.
Savor that feeling Bill, and know as we continue to work our process we can"now" choose calmness over other emotions, something we were not afforded while "in the grip"!What did that famous philospoher say(JOHN KAY) "Get that motor runnin,head out on the highway",,,the highway of life............ lucid, walkin in guidance and doing all things to the best of our ability.Thats what we can do.......peace

yeah. 20 years old. Summer of 76 dj-ing at a community party. I'd just left home, got my first real job and was dj-ing part time for a team from college, thought I was the next John Peel. Before the booze got too big a grip on me. Still a daily drinker at the time but some sort of control was there. I weighed in at 11 stone (154lbs). Still had all my teeth and hair! Just before I met Eileen. There was 29 more years of escalating, progressing boozing to come, a marriage, two kids, better jobs, more and more of everything. Weight ballooned to 18 stone 9 lbs (261lbs?) I've had all that I wanted of a lot of things I had and a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad. Here we are 35 years later. Less hair, fewer teeth, failed marriage, failed relationship, 70 lbs lighter at 13st9lbs, got everything I need, most of what I want and plenty more to strive for. And getting on for 4 years 7 months sober one day at a time. Sweet.
