I woke this morning and realized i have turned the corner

[SoulRaven]

Funny thing this morning,&nbsp; I woke to high winds, blue sky and snow capped mountain ridges in plain sight, and life was very good... My mid life crisis started in my 40's with the loss of my wife, my parents, my health, and making a honest living... I ended my mid life crisis today when I awoke, made a cup of coffee and checked my new solar set-up, I smiled and thought that after a year and a half I finally feel at home in my little cabin on wheels... I feel safe, secure, and genuinely happy for the first time in a very long time... This life is not for everyone, but the ones hearty enough and with determination to succeed will also wake one day and realize that the fear is gone, the planets align and happiness has re-entered their lives... Thanks go to the lord, the memory of my dear wife, and to my friend Bob Wells for putting up with me... life is now good again... <br>

Congrats sir! There's nothing quite as satisfying as finding that inner peace with everything around you, but most importantly .... yourself.<div><br></div>

&nbsp;I know the feeling. It's funny that this kind of revelation can come all at once like a dark curtain being pulled aside exposing all of the good things that you've been working so hard to obtain. Stay happy!<br>

Odd how things come about sometimes- I was reading an article today that made me think of this thread SR, written by psychotherapist&nbsp; who describes that aha moment as "graduating from grief to gratitude" , has a nice ring to it eh? <br>Glad your there.<br>
