”I am not young enough to know
everything.”
James Barrie

Christmas
for me has always been about children, about seeing their wonder and
amazement, their pure innocent joy and laughter. It is my time of the year to
try and recapture that purity, that openness of just being in the moment, of
believing in magic, of living with hope and without limit.
I
am no longer young enough to know everything, to be the centre of the
universe, invincible and untouchable. My innocence has been jaded by
experience, by a loss of the magic that anything can happen, that good always
triumphs over evil, or that every cloud has a silver lining. Not necessarily
an acceptance of pessimism, but of realism.
Yet
I still have those fantastical beliefs in me. I have hope in the power and
goodness of humanity. I trust deeply in my Higher Power and my spiritual
life. I believe in miracles. I believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth
Fairy and all those others dreams that I have taught my own children. With
God by my side, I know anything is possible. I can find a way to live through
the child within me and keep those fantasies alive.

Affirmation
My
child within permits me to believe, love and live unconditionally, without
prejudice or worry.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
