Days crawled by and I found comfort in very little. I was absorbed by the pain. All that once gave me hope and made me smile had been taken from me. Then, astonishingly, one morning the sun was shining again. As a sunbeam warmed my face that morning I miraculously regained my strength.
That day I was able to jump out of bed a new person. My confidence had been restored. I owned the day and finally realized I owned my happiness. I had experienced a great heartache but it was nothing I couldn't overcome. During my short time on this earth I've faced much more difficult obstacles and come out on top. I was not going to let this latest incident bring me down and shadow my many accomplishments.
I was back with a vengeance. Now weeks have passed and I am solid as a rock. Tomorrow I will celebrate ten months of sobriety. I've recently been offered a wonderful contract from my employer. My relationship with my family is at an all-time high. There is much to make me smile. The most amazing lesson learned during those dark days; I can be happy with myself. Now I can recognize when I am not doing all I can to take care of myself. I deserve a wonderful life and I deserve to treat myself like a princess. It is not my responsibility to make the world happy. It is my responsibility to smile every day and keep reaching for the stars.
I deserve to be happy. Luckily, I am happy.
