If I Could....

If I could orchestrate another person's recovery, which I can't, but if I could....this is what I would do.

• Allow time to slowly go through the process of healing body and mind
• No expectations for work right away
• Open the door to art classes that focus on nurturing the heart and spirit.
• Daily routine
• Daily meetings or meeting with program friends
• Daily exercise
• Daily prayer and meditation
• Eat a healthy diet at consistent times throughout the day.
• A weekly massage
• Slowly branch into volunteer positions to be able to give something back, to be a contributor and not just a recipient.
• Time in nature
• Begin to explore career options that fit with your new life of recovery. 
• Take your time, grow into your new life. You can't rush the healing process.

Since I don't get to have any say in any of this, its all really a non-issue, but of course the minute I posted about "patience" and allowing the "process to unfold," I got tripped up all over my own feet. So since I can't put any of this into action, I CAN post it here and get it out of my system. There is still that part of me that whispers in the back of my head..."if they would only listen, I could help them."

Thankfully God is in charge of my life and those I love and I get to step aside and rest in His wisdom and the fact that He can manage all of everything....and watch the process unfold.

Keep praying y'all. I am.
