WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARS

Thank you to The New Hue for the good vibes to match your soul.

How do you see life after the smoke clears? I was at a point in my life where everything seemed to be troubling and stressful. Like most, this definitely took a toll on my life. Affecting the people who I loved and who loved me. I was always filled with anger not knowing why. At some point in life, I think we all have the choice where we can see things in a different light. Where we can enjoy life without negativity.

 I was dealing with the passing of a loved one for many years. The heartache, the loneliness of not being able to see or hear from them. By far one of the most difficult times in my life. They say time heals all wounds, but this was not the case for me. The time just made it easier to suppress my feeling. That is, till one day I found myself at the cemetery feeling really bad, an emotional wreck . At some point I found myself sitting and crying. Trying to remember the last year of her life that was filled with bad memories. As I sat there, when a bad memory would come up, a good memory would over shadow it. Then another one, and another one. By the time I realized it, I was laughing! Enjoying all the good memories I had. That's when I knew how I wanted to live my life. To where I had so many good memories that I couldn’t even remember the bad ones . That was my choice, to see life after the smoke clears .

 This is truly LIVING to me.. Kevin Patrick
