During this wknds AA w/AlAnon convention I heard a few good things. The last AlAnon meeting I attended was on serenity. Im now content to be home. I use to thrive on chaos and now its finally ok to be able to sit back and be calm - read that book, burn those candles, watch a movie, play w/the bunnies, etc. Im starting to feel serene. Im hoping I have a good year ahead of me.
It will be a couple of weeks for me to come down from the Assembly we hosted and I am glad for that!! You got my attention when you said, "...hope I have a good year ahead of me." Man if I go longer than a day I usually am looking for something to get me out of a coma. I use to do the looking ahead proformance and I still make plans but I only take this trip one day at a time.
It took me seemingly forever to be ok with just being alone. I had to move out of the house that I lived in with wife & kids, even living there almost 10 years alone, it still was full of memories. At night before I go to bed, I turn off the lights and turn off the TV, and it's sooooo quiet. And when I get up in the morning... quiet. Those are the times when quiet is important. Especially when I first get up.
