Summer with the Slug Rats
Shedding a Few Things
The next day I started putting things back in the shed. It reminded me of the inventory I was told to take when I first got sober. Some things in my life would always be cherished, others recycled, and some discarded.
Most of my friends and family stuck by me, happy I had finally seen the light. Painful memories became lessons learned. Some broken relationships couldn’t be mended. Many failures and resentments had to be left in the past.
I thought no matter what change I made in life, I needed to take that inventory. If the change was to last, I needed to hold onto some things, repair others, and discard the rest.
Today I will take an inventory and make a change.
