A Quiet Accomplishment - 4/24/2014

Today was a good day. Rain was had, and sunshine for you photophiles. Opportunities arose and were seized. Today was the kind of day that should happen slightly more often. Not too much so, for fear of it getting old, but slightly more often than it does.

It leave one, when the time for sleep approaches, with no thoughts left hanging from the day. It is pleasant not to have those little nags of things left undone or unsaid. To look at that day and see only a satisfaction with what has been done that day. It is a rare draught with which to find one's rest.

And in that rest, to know that tomorrow will simply be another normal day. Without that sense of completion, without that calm satisfaction that has filled the last few hours of this one.

I spent much of my life remembering the bad times, obsessing over them, able to remember little else. I like the fact that now I can do things differently, that I can think of the good things that happened without being lost in every tiny misstep, every mistake. It is a sign to me that I have come great distances since I started working to heal myself. Over 13 years now, and my progress shows in simply being able to sit and smile over a good day. A quiet accomplishment, and one I treasure.
