Thought this was worthy of posting for the “Newcomer”
Last year I was in my treatment center and for the holidays we went to a unity church for a burning bowl ceremony. We were all invited to write letters to ourselves to be mailed back to us a year letter. I just got mine. :)
When I wrote that letter I was in a lot of pain, had tons of self-pity, regret, resentments, anger, every bad emotion you can think of. I remember I was bawling my eyes out the entire time I wrote the letter to myself because I felt absolutely hopeless. Even though everything I wrote was totally hopeful. I really wanted to feel so way on the other end of where I was at last year this time.
How cool it is to read what I wrote about my sons, myself and everything that I wanted to apply to myself today. "Love, joy, peace, understanding, strength and determination." "Keeping things simple but working hard so I can enjoy the rewards of my labors." How I wished for everyone else feeling the same thing to find the things that they/I wanted. "Full of life, serenity, safety and comfort where I'm at." I have all of those things today.
I had chill bumps all up and down my arms while I read it, as well as a big fat smile on my face. How freakin' cool!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting me share. :)
