Welcome. If you come to visit for the first time and have some questions feel free to ask. PM someone if you like but don't stay a stranger. We were all in the pit. We know a way out. No condemnation and no hammers. Just ask and prepare to make a load of friends.
"The fields are harvested and bare,
And Winter whistles though the square.
October dresses in flame and gold,
Like a woman afraid of growing old."
---Anne Mary Lawler
"Now Indian summer arrives, a change of season that's more a sense memory than a date on the calendar. Finally, the heat is passing. Gradually familiar surroundings don a rustic palate of jewel tones that dazzle with their beauty. Let October seduce you with her charms. "Beguile us in the way you know," poet Robert frost entreated this season of abundance." "Release one leaf at the break of day."
These come from the Book, "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Ban Breathnach where I have been learning her idea of these, "six Spiritual Principles; gratitude, simplicity, order, harmony, beauty, and joy." She explains this book, "evolved from creating a manageable lifestyle into living in a state of Grace." It, "enabled me to encounter everyday epiphanies, find the Sacred in the ordinary, the Mystical in the mundane, and to fully enter into the Sacred sacrament of the present moment."
I hope you all enjoy your your October!!

While learning to live a life of principles, learned thru taking the 12 steps of recovery, and studing many aspects of related topics, I found I had been playing the role of the victim. I was causing all of my own heartache and misery.
Today I have a personal power given to me by a power greater than myself, which allows me to be responsible and accountable for all aspects of my life. I enjoy the winds today. No longer do they blow me from experience to experience. I don't have to live in fear of the future nor regret of the past which gives me the freedom to live fully in the present moment. I live in gratitude for this freedom daily. Thankyou!
