Today is the last day of my six-year oldest summer vacation. Monday starts the strangest school year ever - remotely. First grade will happen largely at my kitchen table.
Sobriety has taught me that I am the most miserable when I have a plan for what my life is going to look like - and then that plan gets totally derailed in a way that makes it unrecognizable. Letting go of my need to control outcomes has been hard for this alcoholic. I still struggle with it. If the pandemic has taught me anything it is that I have very little control over anything other than saying no to the first drink- and that life can implode in unimaginable ways in a second, despite all our good works and best plans.
Someone reminded me recently that maybe our lives aren’t about the outcome. Maybe our curriculum for this existence is found in the tiny lessons of each unexpected day. The moments of growth, of laughter, of hurt, of peace, of friendship… of love…
So my life looks nothing like I ever thought it would on this Friday night. But today I spent the day playing ball, eating ice cream, splashing in a creek, singing my boys to sleep, and sending love to a friend who is making some huge changes. None of that…not one part of it…would be possible if I was still drinking. None of it would be possible if I was too caught up fears and worries about the rest of my life. I have to remember that.
Happy Friday, y’all.
