addicts

We went to the mountains for a few days. It was nice. The weather and scenery was outstanding.
We did a bit of letting go of past hurts and disappointments. I wrote a note to the people who have hurt me outlining how their judgement has affected me. I ended each note with a positive wish for them.
Each note got wrapped around a rock and tossed into a creek. The idea was that the creek would take the feelings away from me and release them back into nature to be healed so I could get some relief.

An interesting thing happened while I was writing the notes. Every person I wrote about is an alcoholic. I hadn’t noticed that before. I had never put together that their addiction may well have played a part in how they treated/ responded to me.
Maybe I’m not such a bad person?
