Gratitude Day ☼ 28 October 2022
Carol Lee Serendipity
by John Olander
I missed her then, I truly did. I still do. Recovery means so many things and has so many facets. One thing I have learned in my own journey, no matter your stripe or difficulty, helping others helps me.
I had not seen her in a number of years. I certainly did not expect to see her on that day or to have the privilege of the events that would unfold in the ensuing months. I have heard it said, wisely, that you go nowhere by accident. Believe it.
It started with an accident, something happens that changes everything. Tomorrow’s never promised to any of us, or is it?
I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡ Here’s another light-filled ¤ Gem ¤
