Letting Go

Well its been a month since I last posted. It was sporadic before that. I think the time has come to let go of the blog. Not completely. It will still be here. Maybe in the future someone like me will spend their first day of sobriety searching the internet for help and stumble upon my story. So I will leave it up but I didn't want to leave without thanking all of you bloggers out there who inspired me, guided me, taught me, redirected me and last but not least made me laugh. Writing about myself and my thoughts has been instrumental in helping me get and stay sober. And reading your stories has as well. I won't be gone for long I am sure. I am writing now...and in other venues (most importantly being my fourth step again)...I know that I cannot leave that which I know is critical. I must be vigilant about expressing myself. It was that lack of self expression that was one of those underlying conditions we talk about. So vigilance. Life is good and full...thank you God.

and finally, Let's Stay Sober Out There....xo, Kathy Lynne

ah bless. ive always enjoyed reading what you have to say Kathy, and i really like the way you write things, so I will miss hearing the latest in your journey. you've come a loooong way in a short time girlee :)
Will look forward to paths crossing over a cuppa sometime in the future :)

I write very ! sporadically as well, so i have no expectations for anyone to write at any particular rate. its fine just to post once a month or ? however long if thats all you feel like doing..
so dont feel like you have to call it a day just because you dont feel like posting so frequently.
whatever you say and however often you want to say it, is fine with me :) 'the people that matter don't mind" and all that..
but whatever you decide, thanks for sharing with us all :)

You will be missed, please stop by now and then and say hello, OK?

YOU, girl...WILL be missed! I will probably be here still when you decide to return, to spread you experience, strength, and hope (but not your opinions, someone told ME!) to bloggers out here. We need to read peeps like you, to keep our own heads above water, and on a level plane.

Be wise, Be glad, Be happy, Be good, Be holy (well, YOU know!) and mainly just BE Kathy-Lynn.

Good bye for now.
PEACE! ....and LOVE!

It's always good to read what you write. I look forward to more one day.
Hugs to you across the miles.

Kathy Lynne said...

Yes, it is not good bye..i know when the spirit moves me I will blog again...just didn't want to leave readers hanging and wondering...did she go back out? you know?

Syd said...

Kathy Lynne, I wish you the best and hope that you will be coming back occasionally. I agree with Irish. If the spirit moves you to write, then please do so. Best to you.

So glad you are finding enough wonder in the life outside of the blog that you aren't wandering this road as often. Praying for and wishing you as much peace and happiness as you can handle and then some more to overflowing!

(((HUGS)))

What beautiful senitments sent your way, I don't know if mine will add much to that, outside of your blog was one of the first I read and you are and always will be an inspiration! I hope that you will continue to write as inspired, I will keep you on my blogroll and hope that your journey and your work continues to inspire, embolden, and give you joy and peace!!!

Much love on the journey,
Gabi

You have just stated in one short paragraph the exact words I have been contemplating about my own blog. I even thought about tearing mine down. Still on the fence with that one. I hope you visit my blog once in a while until I decide what to do with it. I enjoy your thoughts and brain process. It is like a mirror. See you around. J.

Kathy, you are loved and I wish you and your family many blessings. It's been a great pleasure to see you bloom in sobriety. I'm so glad life is taking you on a full and meaningful journey. And I look forward to whatever posts appear here when they do.

Best wishes,

Will greatly miss your blog, dear friend. Alcohol drug rehab is still out there for those that are suffering the difficulties of this disease. I'm happy we received a formal good bye.

Best of luck in your future endeavors.
