I was reading literature with a sponsee and told her that two of my pages were completely highlighted with yellow highlighter pen from when I previously read it. She responded, ‘oh how bright and cheery, like paper sunshine!’

I love that visual and have a new appreciation for the highlighter pen.  This simple tool that captures and illuminates the personal points of impact on a printed page. To save for later for deeper rumination, processing, discernment, healing.  The bright glow of the pen to paper creates a visual warmth and brings light to the darkness.

In gratitude, I acknowledge the humble highlighter that serves my recovery for today.
