I am so blessed to live where the road is red, like terracotta clay and there are friendly folks most every where I go. This has made my journey to wellness and recovery colorful and alive. Greeting nature with my eyes wide open has served to mend my wounds and light the way to better and better days. It is over a year now that my health has taken an upswing and my days have been filled with the challenge of seeing the glass half full.

I am inspired by a new country side and made the move to my new home without much disruption. I have had time to lovingly place my special collection of stones, shells and pictures around in my new place. I have touches of memories in my dwelling place that make my heart beat with joy. Many of the things I treasure have been packed away since I lived with my sister and space was limited. It is over a year since I lived with my partner and then grieved her death. She and I collected many of the treasures that filled our home with nature and love. I am blessed to move to the next phase of recovery in my own space. I don’t cry at her passing too much but rather celebrate the beauty of nature that filled our home.

I also celebrate my connection with so many folks in the blogging world.  I am committed to restoring those connections. The friendships with each of you are a significant part of my recovery. I feel less isolated and sense a bond that is grounded in compassion and healing rather than an illness. My mind is clear and I am at peace. I wish for each of you a similar sense of wellness.

I have found a part time job and feel good about this step in my journey to wellness. I have not been active at all and I miss you all very much. It may be a while longer as I will be moving closer to my job and to live by myself.  I have had over  a year of living with my sister and now I am ready to step out on my own.

I will continue to live in the country and draw  inspiration for my writings from nature. I will enjoy returning to the sharing process and have daily contact with you all.

I will be down and back on line on the weekend and will  connect with you at that  time.  I wish each of you well and look forward to getting back to my routine with you. Peace and more so….
