Maybe it's about being pragmatic, taking multiple perspectives, depending on what works? I'm not sure. Thanks for reading, and peace to you, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137766683602731513.post-28280195031105208452013-09-18T11:48:50.586-07:002013-09-18T11:48:50.586-07:00Ah, I love this because I feel exactly the same wa...Ah, I love this because I feel exactly the same way. For the most part I have to think about forever, otherwise what's the point, but when I feel overwhelmed with forever I take it one day at a time. Why is it so hard to imagine a trip to Europe without a glass of wine, haha? When I went to Spain and France a few years ago I was drinking, and I have to say that it didn't really add that much to the experience.

But the past and future orient my thinking about the now, so the idea of forever helps me, too.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, and thanks for reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137766683602731513.post-50171771639935423552013-09-17T07:27:24.904-07:002013-09-17T07:27:24.904-07:00The time to not drink is now; not today or tomorro...The time to not drink is now; not today or tomorrow or forever; now.Zentienthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872627575358759862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137766683602731513.post-25159221269970364922013-09-16T07:47:23.251-07:002013-09-16T07:47:23.251-07:00Oh, I like the sound of that, middle of forever as...Oh, I like the sound of that, middle of forever as a place! And yes, I agree, the same thing doesn't work for everyone and it's folly to pretend it will. I think I was surprised that when I do something that's a bit like "one day at a time," it's always just something I step into for a while to catch my breath. But I need it to be anchored in forever, or it's no good for me.<br /><br />No hangovers ever is awesome. So is no more, "ooh, I wonder what I said when I was talking to..." And lots more reading in the nighttime and remembering what I read the next morning. The list of what I like about this new forever is pretty long.<br /><br />Thanks to you for your comments, and for your blog, which I love to read. You always make me think, and thinking is a fine thing to be doing.<br /><br />T<br />xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137766683602731513.post-45931571748013737902013-09-16T02:55:53.585-07:002013-09-16T02:55:53.585-07:00I think in the middle of forever can be a place to...I think in the middle of forever can be a place too. Everyone is different, so we all have to get there whatever way works. What else works for me is not just saying I won't ever drink again, but that I get to wake up, hangover free for the rest of my life! Now that is. awesome. <br /><br />Thank you for the mention. :) <br /><br />xoxo<br />amyamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121059866790215726noreply@blogger.com
