Peace by Piece

I am noticing that with each piece of my life that I put back together, the more peace I gain. You ever get to the point in your life when you stop opening the mail? It all begins to accumulate in piles on the table mentally filed away into the I will deal with you later category. Well that is how life begins to unfold, we simply decide to avoid and one day we wake up and realize there are so many unopened envelopes that we don't have the strength to face, so a better solution becomes lets file 36 them and promise to open the next bunch that comes. Avoiding those envelopes is just like avoiding the scale or sitting stuck on your job making no effort to find a different position that allows you to do better in order to actually face your reality piece by piece so that you gain some peace.

The best advice I have been given as of late is if all you can do is get up everyday then start there and with each day get up a little better, a little brighter with just one more purpose so for the past 121days I get up and I write a blog. Somewhere in between those days I decided to address an addiction to Mt. Dew and reading with my daughter, exercising and my job and while I can't say that I do all of those everyday, I can say I write and piece by piece, I am gaining my peace. I was told that each mile begins with just one step. Well I am on step five with 12 Steps being my year end goal so that as I gain peace, piece by piece my happy button will switch back on.
