Many people living in one day at a time recovery are people who can become stuck gazing into the visions of their crystal balls. Such gazing becomes the view points of a two sided painting. What happens when we look at this painting is that we become fixated with either the front or the back and often we become held-fast switching sides over and over again. One side is our past and one side is our future and most of the time we become troubled, anxious, fearful, or guilt ridden. When given the chance to amend such realities many of us disassociate falling short of either endeavor. This is the reality of trauma. Sometimes we can do no better so we try and live in today. In doing so grace becomes our reality. We stop gazing in our crystal balls. Today – just for today – we will be okay. Peace.
