Doin' all I can do to enjoy today.

morning gratitude

I can start from here.

Not as emotionally hung over as I thought I might be as I have been in the past.

I do have a program. I may not work it perfectly but I do work it.

No matter how far I get from God, God does not walk away from me

That I no longer have to hurt myself with bad boys, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, or any of the ways I used to hurt myself when I was hurting

I can get to a meeting today even tho it is not on my schedule or to do list or even want to go

God will grant me courage and grace to accept the things I cannot change

"Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and that as I give to the world, so the world will give it to me."

"O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console....for it is in giving we receive..."

Enjoy your today. I am so glad we get another chance, each time we surrender and ask for it. Hugs!

Just read your last 2 posts. Darlin'...I have sat in your soul and cried the same tears. I have discovered that no one (the kids) ever receive any benefits from my greif. I have...however seen the benefits that come with doing what you are doing now. Starting the day anew, and doing the best I can with it. You are not alone!

Christine, you only have to do what is good for you today and what your HP directs you to do.
