I was talking with a friend today whom didn't feel appreciated in life. I listened to him and said...you know man I get it I really do. I just lost my wife, my kids, my house, my truck, went to jail for half a year for nothing I did and wound up homeless. I live in a city full of my family. Do you know who checks up on me? Do you know who calls me? He went who and I said "No one. But did you know I for once in my life feel loved and appreciated." He said how and I said " Because I'm loving and appreciating myself. I'm showing up for myself daily and that's something I never thought I'd be able to say" Sometimes it takes loosing everything for us to gain ourselves. Self love is the best love. Sober another day! Thanks for your time.
