I am doing quite well, thank you. I did approach this next step with a very different understanding of myself...and my role in my own life. I have a much deeper sense of self these days - I am becoming my own anchor. In my mind, that is a good thing. Often, in the past, I have said that I felt untethered...as if I would simply drift off into space because there was no one here to hold me.
I feel very differently about this today. I am my own center now. Not in a selfish way, in a healthy way - I have all that I need for happiness, security and well-being. I am what keeps me centered. I will not let me drift off and float away. It is a wonderfully empowering feeling. Also, I am learning that being a bit untethered is not a bad thing...gives us room to float around in our lives freely.
As for figuring out how to step out of the current of sadness...I think time helps us do just that. Actually, I do not think of it as stepping out of a current. I think of it more as standing in a pool of all of our emotions and the current is comprised of specific ones at certain times in our lives. I think when the time is right, the current shifts and calms itself down.
As always, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.
