Driving down to Phoenix from Pinetop yesterday, so many memories flashed in my mind. Over the years, Bob and I made many trips back and forth; Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. With friends and/or my 2 boys, visiting our parents, skiing or playing golf, we lost track of how many times we made that trip. Where have the years gone? You taught me to have gratitude for all of the experiences, and the memories were wonderful!
Meeting up with Aaron for dinner, we laughed and discussed the craziness of the turns in life; nothing is perfect, and we can’t take anything for granted. We had such a great time being together; being with each other, enjoying the moment. Really all there is in life.
Later, at the 8pm Papago Step Mtg, I met my sponsor and others and shared on making amends. ALL of the 9th Step promises have come true!
But now, grieving this loss, all of the emotions are rattling around in the cage upstairs. It’s noisy. What to do?
Stupid sayings like “look where you’ve been brought”, “trust the process”, “this too shall pass”, and “make each day a new beginning” all have carried me; there’s no reason why they won’t again today. Far better than the dread & misery living trapped in the bottle.
Thank You for a solution, a program & fellowship to fully live life, even on days like this!
