I am very glad to read your post, it's great that you had such a good day! Those moments of peace and contentment are so very helpful in recovery. Thank you for sharing it
I did not know where to post this so I figure since it is about a positive experience I would put it here.
Today I went walking alone al the way to the public library. I had great tunes on my MP3. It was a grey day but just as I left the house it got nice and sunny :) Was glad to have my straw hat on . Anyway, got there and browsed and found a really nice book and was really psyched about it. Then I started walking home and I was listening to some great music I put on my MP3 last night. Was looking around at the blue skies and the wonderful trees and flowers ( I have a great neighboorhood for that) and suddenly I felt a sense of intense joy and peace with myself and the world! I felt so grateful for my life and this walk on this beautiful day. I felt ruely present and intensely aware of everything but not in an anxious way, in a very calm and wonderful way. It was just one of those moments that you just want to hold on to. I just thought I would share that with you.
