My weekend went extremely well all things considered. I went, I saw, I danced, I conquered! However during the nice weather, I find myself feeling lonely and sad, wishing I had someone to share this beautiful life with. This evening I open my daily meditation from Answers in the Heart and this is what I read:
• APRIL 22 •
To live happily is an inward power of the soul. — Marcus Aurelius
One person’s joyous enjoyment of springtime may be another person’s painful memories of a life somehow unfulfilled. One person’s winter wonderland may be another’s stark and hopeless landscape. One person’s summer at the beach may be another’s battle to avoid looking at people wearing hardly any clothes. One person’s ripe and tranquil autumn may be another’s sense of imminent death. Each season of the year brings its own challenges. Many of us who are sex addicts feel sad or alone particularly during the spring and summer. All around us are people in love (not us) or people we think look happier than us. We may feel inadequate. So we struggle yet again with the same old feelings or memories. We can remind ourselves that even though the past continues to resonate in our hearts, the present holds something different and better. If we open our eyes to the particular beauty of this season, we will be rewarded with its splendor.
I am willing to be open to this day’s beauty and delight. The past is over.
How perfect this meditation was for me this evening, I will take it! 😁
