I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡
We’re celebrating another ¤ JohnnyO Gratitude Day! ¤
This is one of my favorite poems by John, shared in February 2022, Gems 8.44.
“My piece | February 28, 2022 | 14 months Sober today.” -John Olander, Denver CO
Everything
Everything.
Clarity. Acuity.
Clear Vision.
Subtle Nuance.
The fragrant smell of,
just plain clean.
A thick soft towel.
A fluffy Pillow.
The soft glimmer of Sunset.
The growing warmth of Morning Sun.
The radiant heat of the fire.
A room with a view.
Staccato notes.
Goose bump Harmonies.
Isn’t it funny?
No. It’s actually not.
These sights.
These sounds.
The subtlety of EVERYTHING.
I never even knew I missed you.
-John Olander
Our first post ever featuring John was a movie with John and Nicole on March 31, 2017.
Grateful for you, JohnnyO.

Thanks so much, Cassa! I will let John know. ♥
A beautiful poem Niki
Thanks, Sadje, I agree! ♥
You’re very welcome
Great things take time, as you know well, Niki Flow. The video reminds me of what a mess I was at the time. Even though the idea was cogent and could easily still happen, the execution would never happen as I did not realize how bad I was until I WAS SOBER. Thank you for being a major part of my Wellness, you and St. Nicole Huguenin.
‘tis always a privilege, Niki Flow, 1704 days and 55 Gratitude days into my forever Journey.
Thank you, John. It’s been a privilege being a witness to your unfolding miraculous journey. ♥
