Lifting of the "London Fog"/Sobriety


 Life in sobriety, here.  I feel as if the London Fog has lifted.  Great not living in the Fog, but didn't realize how much it protected me....how used to it I got.....   Should I board a jet now to get to London for that familiarity.      Seriously, though there's the downer side, I feel I have stepped into The Void, or that no matter where the tornado flipped and flew me, this is where I landed , left with living in one's own self.


No Fog =  Hope                      The downer side = Is the glass half empty or half full? 


 I still want to feel protected, safe, and not to feel emptiness, no empty spots.  HIdee-ho, Quite a Ways to Go!  More to be worked out in me. Thanks for listening!

Thoughts on emptiness going thru my mind while reading your post....


If we were to be completely "full" of stuff inside, then where would be the room/space for HP to enter in?  Perhaps we need some "empty" space in order to receive what HP has for us.


If my glass is half full, then I have room for more.


If my glass is half empty, I still have room for more.


If I find my glass getting full, I can give some of it away to another who needs it...in doing so, I also get something in return...so ya know, that glass never gets to empty no matter what.

Wow!  Thank You kismet!   I think there was a lady at f2f trying to explain this to us, but your version comes across better.     Will be copying this!
