A Promise to Myself

By Jeff Opfer

I will keep breathing
            forgiving
            listening
            believing

I will be supple 
          creative
          silent
          encouraging

I will cultivate discipline
                 compassion
                 restraint
                 understanding

To become sober
          abundant
          radiant
          and free

I love you man! Thanks for the letter! Snail mail is so good, I forgot. I’ve always been terrible at it too. You need me to send you something? I seen to be ok at that…

  No, you’re good man. Things are looking up. I love you too brother. Send me a letter, whenever, no rush. I’ll send you my new address as soon as I have it. So don’t send anything until I give you that. Glad to hear from you.
