Beautiful as always. Thanks for another reminder of why I love living sober. It allows us to open our spirits to the signs that life is within us and all around us.
I just subscribed. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what took me so long, as your writing always resonates to me. Thanks for sharing your gift.
As someone who got sober at 50, I sincerely wish I'd gotten sober much, much earlier. But it's okay. It's just a part of my story.
Happy early birthday! May your hummingbird stop by that day! And may your 40s be full of light and life and love!
I believe we find this sober path when we are meant to, no sooner, no later. All the days before were molding us into who we need to be today. Onward we go, my friend.
Thank you for the kind words and support, it’s made my day!
Take a blessing with you wherever you go. You have been blessed, so bless others. Such stores of blessings are awaiting you in the months and years that lie ahead. Pass on your blessings.
Happy birthday!!! How wonderful that you can celebrate your 40th birthday sober. I mean that! It took me until I was 51 years old for sobriety to stick. I often wonder, What if...? But I can't change the past, I can only move forward, and the last 3 years of sobriety have been amazing (mostly). Sure, there were difficult times and times I felt sad when I couldn't join friends in partaking/celebrating. However, the newly found freedoms and gratitudes certainly outweigh the bad. How beautiful that you saw the hummingbird:) I saw a cardinal on my bike ride this past Monday, and I said, "Hi Dad." Thanks for sharing your beautiful stories.

You're very welcome :)
From one of my morning readings today:

That’s beautiful. Carrying it with me today.

Of course the hummingbird showed up!
