Life Ahead
At this very moment, I am sitting here truly feeling a sense of self awareness. The emotions I feel are mixed at this point; Past failures, present life and the future that is before me.
All the pieces are there, it's a matter of allowing them to fall into place. Life is ahead, not behind.
Right now, I am ready for the things that are infinitely possible. Available. There for those who choose to move forward.
I am feeling grateful and my faith is creeping back into my heart.
Thank you.

One foot in the past.....
For as long as I can remember, I have always kept one foot in the past, while trying to walk forward in my life.
Given, many of the anchors in our past are good memories, significant events and life lessons. These are things we tend to incorporate into our core being. We thrive on those memories and life events. We smile or laugh.
But, there are times when keeping the past close is more detrimental than character building. I'm guilty. When things get tough, I tend to crawl into the hole of bad memories and pain that I should have left behind years ago. It's always been a comfortable place for me. But, the side effects from this are far reaching. Dwelling, self deprecation, negativity, hindrance.
Not long after I left my ex, a few months ago, I decided that I was moving on...in more ways than one. If I wanted a healthy relationship, I had to let go. If I wanted to be happy, I had to let go. If I didn't, I felt as if I would keep repeating all the patterns in my life, regardless of the fact that I was sober.
And so, I made the decision to take my damn foot out of the past and start moving, I mean really moving, into the future.
Here I am, three months later, in a completely different life emotionally. It's strange how you can make a commitment like that and if followed, actually works! I still have to drag the foot out, particularly when life becomes stressful. But, it's worth it. It's liberating.
So, instead of anchoring life, set it free. Move on, walk on and keep moving forward is my mantra of the week.
