Sometimes it is as simple as that. I have been working on a concentrated effort to be in my moments as they are happening. I have had a habit for much of my life to always desire something else, somewhere better or simply the end of the place that I perceive that I am in. [...]
Recognition and validation can be a beautiful sedative. Sedative may be an interesting choice of words for an alcoholic soul who has, very fortunately, spent the last 7000 days without the use of alcohol or drugs to plug up the holes, chase away the demons, quiet the voices or stifle the isolation and loneliness.

Is the cup half full or is it half empty? For the bulk of my waking hours I am a positive thinker. I like to deal with or look towards solutions and tend to suggest (at least to myself) that there is no problem or challenge too great. I am never given more than I [...]

I see the value at taking an inventory and creating the changes I desire as opposed to only sitting within my life and hoping [...]

And, for me, results and lessons fill me with inspiration. This is the sort of cycle I have been working on incorporating into my life. It’s not the first time I’ve [...]
