1 Step at a Time Mind Body Spirit
We are all under construction.
I want to share my vision with you, my reading family and fellowship group. Back several years ago, as my family was coming apart, I would attend church and bible studies weekly, and come home feeling worse than when I left. Jesus had been a part of my life since I was 8 years old.… Continue reading The Vision and Journey
So, this blog has been about a lot of things. Certainly the main theme has been recovery and the principles of good mental, emotional, spiritual and even physical health. I like to believe that another main theme is truth. Good, not so great and even ugly, still, I strive for transparency and truthfulness in my… Continue reading To the Point…
It's still pretty chilly out, and I continue to rotate through my outerwear so as to not become completely bored wearing the same coat over and over. But sometimes I just grab whatever is closest and run out the door, because likely I am running late. I have been trying to go through and review… Continue reading Stay Tuned…
A quiet evening. Soft music, and a warm spot where I can nestle in with my laptop. This little blog has become like my friend. It is a place I bring my joys, sorrows, griefs and breakthrough moments. Sometimes this happens all at once. It is always waiting here for me to show back up… Continue reading Evening time…
Today was the perfect definition of a fall day. Blowing crisp leaves, partly sunny skies, temps in the upper 50's. It was a day to enjoy the outdoors so that's just what we did. Today was also a "no sugar" day. So not exactly a fun day, as I really want to enjoy a treat,… Continue reading Sugarless Tuesday
I was given some lovely cut flowers a couple weeks back, and looking at them today, I am starting to think they have come to the next stage in their life cycle...that is, to become compost for other living things. The evidence is there; crispy petals, wilted leaves, and a slight swampy odor. It makes… Continue reading Friday’s Goals
Sometimes, you just have to write. I cannot sleep, so out it must come. As a card-carrying codependent, I struggle with the notion of taking on what is not mine to manage. Seeing a far-off circus with monkeys and elephants and chasing after it, thinking I need to somehow manage that. My word picture right… Continue reading Late write
I love to judge how my life and my recovery are going by how smoothly things are in my life. How sweetly things proceed along in my day-to-day rhythm of being. No conflict, no upset of any kind, and I get the feeling that I am doing it all right, and that things will remain… Continue reading Recovery paths and corners…
Make a meal in my crock pot, did some visiting and babysitting and went to a meeting. Ending the evening mapping out a road trip we will soon be making, and checking out hotels online in the middle of the desert. Fun. Brain is empty and tired, so I may write more tomorrow; we'll see.… Continue reading Crock pot Thursday
Participating in recovery is about a lot more that warming a seat at a meeting.
