Isolation

Isolation
There’s a huge part of me that wants to go back into my shell. I hear, what is the use of opening up and letting someone in only to have your heart stumped on? It is only my dis-ease calling me. However, I hear the voice of God much louder saying, it’s okay. I will take care of you.

At today’s meeting, I surrendered my self-will. I also made a huge mistake. However, I am grateful to God I did not go through with my plan. I have to let God take care of this for me. If I try, I will only make things worse. I’m done with that.

I don’t have to be afraid to be vulnerable. I will not be afraid of sharing my feelings. What happened was more about the other person than it was about me. Yes, I played my role. However, I was honest and I was true. Love recognizes love.

The Rhythm of Life

The past couple of days have been very challenging. I’m finding it very hard to stay present. The good part is that I remind myself that my thoughts have no power and that I do not have to act them. The hurt and sadness will eventually pass; turning to food will not solve the issue. In fact, nothing will “solve” the issue because I have no control over it. I am powerless over people, places, and things. This thought frustrates me sooooo much but I must accept it if I want serenity.

“When life as it really is becomes a fact that I accept as naturally as I breathe, events lose their power to throw me off balance or disturb the basic rhythm of life.” I’m not sure where I found this quote or who said it but its meaning rings so true for me today. This, too, shall pass.
