This has been a nice weekend. We left on Friday night for a sail. We talked a lot that night about so many things.

We got up early to watch the moon set and the sun rise. These are the moments that I would like to be frozen in time.

Today we walked on the beach almost alone except for one other boat. The temperature is so nice.

I don't know where my sadness went but it left just as it seems to do every time. I am grateful for that. I wish that it didn't seem so overwhelming when I'm in the midst of it.

So now I'm going to savor the rest of the day.

    Syd,
    I know exactly what you're talking about re: sadness. When I am in it, it is overwhelming and feels like it will last forever (even though I know better). I am so grateful when whatever actions I try to take finally pay off and it lifts.

    Funny, when we are happy, we *want* to be overwhelmed with it, but certainly not when we are sad. The good news is, it passes, especially for us in recovery, we tend to have it pass faster, and have a renewed sense of gratitude .

    Glad you have had a wonderful weekend!

    "Savor" beats "sadness" every time.

    I'm finally getting a chance to catch up here. I so often find myself in that sadness too, with the feeling that it will last forever...which it never does. We just need good friends to remind us that "this too shall pass". Thanks Syd!

    I know about the sadness too. Some times it is just like a cloud that sets over me and I cannot shake it. But I know that "this too shall pass" is so true if I only I could remember ....

    I know what you mean about the sadness. Mine seems the same way. So deep and bottomless and then it just lifts.

    I'm glad your sadness is gone. The ocean always makes me feel better somehow.

    I haven't been home to Savannah (and the ocean) for about three years now. I am ready. So ready.

    Love, SB.
