Greenie, just know that for whatever reason, you need to go through this. Not clear right now, or maybe never, but for some reason you have something to learn from it.
Stay strong my friend x

Very simply put-
'This too shall pass.'
Remember where you were a year ago Greenie- and all of the hard work that you have done.
I think a great pep talk would be to look at some of your OWN old posts and see the Progression of Greenie. This is absolutely a pivotal and milestone marking point in your journey and unfortunately there is no way around it but THROUGH it. But you have already DONE THAT. Look at your old posts. While the 'marker' may be the paperwork- you have been preparing for this for a long time. And you have a lot of tools and a lot of friends. I am glad you reached out here. You are loved.

Turn Your Face To The SunMaithri Goonetilleke



Beloved,

There are days when nothing seems right. When every shell you pick up on the winding shore is broken. When the silken treasure slips through your fingers too quickly. When comforts are empty. And the world is noise.

On those jagged edged days, when the wind is screaming for a reason only she understands. And you find yourself all alone.

Turn your face to the sun.

There is goodness in the world, that even the river of tears cannot erase.

There is love in the world, that the numbed armies of fear can not destroy.

Sometimes that goodness is everywhere apparent. It pours from the heart of every moment. From the light of every smile.

On those soft days, love hides in the eaves to drop like sweet honey on your forehead and sings her lilting lullabies in the arms of the winds.



But on some days, Beloved. On days like today....

We need to look, to see.

So turn your face to the sun.

Even when she is nowhere to be seen.

Go inside yourself. Find a speck, a splinter of beauty to be grateful for.

'Yes', the day has worn you. And 'Yes' our mistakes have been so many.

But say 'Thank you' anyway.

Take account of all that is in your possession.

A mind. A heart. A body.

A life that breathes, even if for just one more day.

Now count the eyes that have smiled
at you on your wild journey,

the hands that have held you tenderly,

the ears that have listened,

the prayers that have been made on your behalf.

And whisper your 'Thank you' again.

Count the sky that has watched you grow
with His painted eyes,

The heaving waves that find their echo
in the tides of your breathing,

The little birds that have sung
you their songs,

The stars which have been a lamp
to your path,
and are your
rightful inheritance.

Count unexpected laughter,

Count undeserved grace,

Count Passion and Love making and Dreams yet to be born,

And bow your head and say 'thank you',

Now count the lives who still need your light,

The hungry, the sick, the helpless,

Count the children who will die today

and imagine if with the breath of your body
you could help just
one.

Turn your face to the sun,
And know yourself as a child of the light.

You are the Goodness that cannot be extinguished,

The love that burns through the darkest night.

And perhaps,
In turning
You will see what i have seen,
that this day where everything seemed wrong,
was not your curse,

It was your gift,

Your chance...

To find inside yourself a forgotten 'thank you',

To smile in the face of the grim suppressors,

To stand in the heart of the glowering darkness
and turn your face to the sun.

All I have to offer is my most sincere :l and hopes that whatever you are going through will work itself out and you will find happiness again.

It wasn't that long ago I was in that place, I felt totally lost. I had to just keep thinking...do the best I can and leave the rest to a higher power. Somedays I literally had to do one thing at a time...one moment at a time.

Take a walk....bath...whatever you enjoy, just be good to yourself and know this will pass.

Hiya Greenie :l

Thinking of you and sending you thoughts of calm and hope. You will get through this difficult time and then you will be free. The future is uncertain and that is frightening but it will be exciting too.

Be strong in that you have come through this sober. You have made difficult decisions sober. When you look back at this time with the wisdom of hindsight you will be so grateful for that.

Greenie you are stronger than you think.

Now put those BGP's on and go kick ass! :H

AWWW Greenie, don't think of this as a closed chapter, but the beginning to a new book. So much happiness and life is out there for the taking. You are doing what is best for YOU! You tried, but you can not try alone. It is a two way street honey. So, it is onward and upward now. AND you and I both know there is no love found in a bottle. I love ya!~

I have to agree with Bittzak tomorrow is the start of a new dawn and chapter in your life. When this is all soon over you can put the bad bits behind you and look forward to moving on to a brighter happier future.
