Something New
Life is a journey full of ups, downs and everything in between. Most of us have experienced things like balancing family, having a career, school, financial issues, periodic failures, goal setting and realizing dreams. For me, sometimes I get such tunnel vision that I stop enjoying the journey of my life and only focus on the goal. I stop trying new things because I get stuck in the mundane. As time goes by and things happen and priorities shift and the journey changes. This has been true for me in the past few years. I have been stuck. Getting sober in 2009 helped me take stock in my life at that time. Drugs and alcohol no longer served me and I was able to put them down with the help of a treatment center and a 12 step program. Sobriety gave me a foundation to stand on to begin to make good choices. My cancer diagnosis made me take a closer look at my life. Am I happy? Like really happy? Am I living in today or in the future?
