I’m not going to say something like, my sobriety is a product of accepting that I was just not meant to ever kick the football. I’m going to say my sobriety was a function of learning to focus on the right things-the things I could change.
Must have been music in the air….. I was brought back yesterday to Menotti’s “Amahl and the Night Visitors” - needless to say a favorite that makes every cell in me vibrate with resonance of recognition. Funny how music works. Must be the water in us…. Or the Star dust. 😉 -V
I love the voiceover!! I cried out loud listening to this song (much needed tears). And then I said out loud ‘thank you God I have what I need’. No I didn’t get what I wanted but today as I sit here with my little dog in the house I bought when I was 6 years sober (and 64 years old) I have more than I need. Thank you again for inspiring me to count the many blessings I have received in my sobriety and know there are more to come!

I love that, too—it invokes the dream world all around us. And it’s definitely star-dust…

Thank you—what a lovely thing to share!
