Hi Matt!
I am doing well, thank you for checking in 
how are you doing?
It’s been a while since I was last here on TS; I’m still sober and, as ever, still questing …hoping to find the answers to all my questions about life and how to live it - how to find the contentment that I so deeply desire. Still learning though, trying to accept life for what it is and pay attention to the beauty. Some days are a success, others are hard, but I try. Thought I’d login as it’s been a while, and perhaps start sharing a bit again. Busy as with work & life though, so we’ll see how I go 
How are you?

That is your nature, you are a quester. I think that is part of why you travel so much. You have a heart that wants to fly and see and experience and connect. It’s also why you like to learn and discover.
I’m doing well, thanks. Still running my business (I run a skilled trades company), going camping, road trips to see friends, baking (I make all kinds of stuff, including whole wheat bread - we’ve switched entirely to homemade bread), walking; and all while trying to learn more on my recovery path. Recently I have been incorporating more twelve-step principles into my journey and it has been helpful. I find the structure and group accountability is helpful for me. I’ve also made some good friends in the group.
I’m learning a lot about myself. I’m adopting new habits and patterns (meditation, reflection, personal (healthy) accountability, focusing on what I can control and letting go of the rest), and as I do that I find new capacities, new spaces where I can think and work and live. I like it.
Happy to see you again, adventurer and learner - looking forward to hearing more about your discoveries.

Wow, Matt, sounds like you have many wonderful things making up your life right now 
I love that you’re into baking your own bread! My friend does this too - homemade bread is the best!
Camping and just being outdoors is always so good for the soul I just recently bought myself a new tent and camping gear, I can’t wait to use it! 
Your current focuses and lessons sound very similar to my own. I, too, am working on and starting to be able to let go of what I cannot control and just focus on what I can; being accountable for my own actions and just taking things one at a time - keeping life simple & meaningful
Hearing you’re doing well makes me happy! I’d love to hear more about how you’re incorporating the 12-step principles into your journey and how they’ve been helpful. I think this is something I’d benefit from, too.
THANK YOU for the Whakataukī !! I love it! I’ve just wrote it in my journal, so I can read it regularly and reflect 
Here is another that I love:
Kia hora te marino, Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te Kārohirohi i mua i tōu huarahi.
Translation -
May the calm be widespread, May the ocean glisten as greenstone, May the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway.
Spanish: Que la calma muy extendida, de mayo el brillo de mar como de piedra verde, que el resplandor de la luz cada vez la danza a través de tu vía.
