Every time I go by my neighbor place what is left of it I experience mixed emotions. Basically sadness but gratitude at the same time. It makes me sick to my stomach to see the devastation of loss especially of their home. The gratitude is out of me not having to go through this myself. I say a prayer every time I pass by.
Today is a new day w hope. I am in a place of freedom from fear. I still have anxiety but I manage it somehow. All I have is this moment & I am going to use it to share my life w others including all of you. Peace to you in whatever this day brings coming in or going out.
Thoughts and prayers continue from here. So sorry that it bring sadness for the loss of what used to be 'there'. Peace back to you!

I have many reminders of sad things from photos to music on the radio. I can hear a song from the 80's and can remember the addict I was with at the time, and sometimes even what I was wearing. And I feel so sad about those years of wasted energy and time, and gratitude for the help I've found in Alanon. I get it, Lyne
