Some days start late.. today is one of them. I did not sleep very well. That is an understatement. I slept like crap. Too much on my mind, perhaps. So I am out of it. I didn’t get to my breakfast the way I like & I am feeling crabby or distant or generally unamused & even a little daffy. Whatever the combination - this is temporary.
Which is basically the number one thing everything has in common. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Sleep deprived or fully present... It is all temporary. Another lovely lesson I have learned & accepted in sobriety. Knowing this deeply is what gets us through the uncomfortable moments when we want to say “fuck it” & fall into a bottle of Malbec.. or tequila.
When I stepped outside with my tea this morning, to get a feel for what the world is doing today, I saw these beautiful late blooms on the morning glory vine that is growing up my staircase. They are so big, beautiful & delicate. They only last a day or two before they wither & fall. Again, temporary. Because sometimes temporary is truly beautiful I snapped a photo of the best in show to share with all of you. I hope you all find a way to enjoy each moment today - for whatever it has to offer.
