When it gets Dark, AND IT WILL!!

Hello and blessings of this day!

Welcome to all newcomers, those just coming around and those just coming back, WE are glad your here. Welcome to those continuing their daily journey, a day at a time,working in the "solution". I am still in physical recovery from a long sickness(for me) but it reminds me that even when a train goes thru a dark tunnel we don't throw our ticket away and jump off the train, WE sit still and trust the engineer. If you are in a place of serenity, or struggling with "life on life's terms or just feeling indifferent it is a true testament of hope and faith that even when we are in the Dark we can put that hope and faith in the Power,(for each of us)that brings the light..As long as we "don't pick up" do the work and stay guided by that power greater than ourselves WE can move forward as those"visions of hope, the examples that our program works(not a magic bullet,but work) and our joy in living free is truly an attraction to those still suffering..Reach out and help someone today, it will certainly help you..........heres my hand!  Peace.....

Good grief---still recuperating?! Yikes. Glad you are slowly getting better,Mike. You are a great role model for those of us prone to whining and moaning through illness, and maybe stuck in fear as well. Love the subject title. And it helped my outlook this evening to read to read "...even when we are in the Dark we can put that hope and faith in the Power,(for each of us) that brings the light." Thanks-

In support Mike...got you in my prayers and thanks for the metaphoric support.  Yes sometimes it does seem like a dark tunnel.  I slip into quiet and patience as best I can holding on to open ness for directions and the willingness to follow thru.   Keep on keeping on...(((hugs))) smile
