Default Things I've Realized Along the Way...

I've realized that as much as I tried to drown my sorrows {in whatever my poison of the day may have been}, I also drowned out beauty. Once I stopped doing that, I was able to see the beauty in LIfe.

At first, it's like all these little bulbs going off in your head at the same time..little flashbulbs. And you start to find, again, Hope. And you find Joy again, too, as you rediscover all the simplistic beauty and coincidences of your days and sometimes moments.

Certainly, there is darkness in the universe, but that's part of finding the Balance.

I've come to realize that the Human Condition is about Compulsions. We all have at least One.

It's acceptance of Self and knowledge that tomorrow's another day are the ways that I live my life.

So I continue my journey, trying to keep myself on an even plane. Remembering that I can at least let go of 6% of my worries and guilts/troubles and I will be Alright.

I pat myself on the back, and remind myself, that it took my whole life to reach this one moment in time. And I have a Whole Lifetime Ahead of Me...

-------------

And I say, that whomever reads this posting, You, Too, can Forgive yourself for your troubles and Smile and Recognize, that it's really not all 'that' bad. Even in your darkest hours, there is always at least one little spect of Light and sometimes, that's All you Need

~Be Well~
