Good morning,
I am thankful this morning that I slept well last night.
Getting sober has taught me about gratitude and how it works in my brain and in my life. I was always a black and white type of person; I was either bad or good. There was no in between or gray area. That type of thinking has kept me stuck for a very long time. Today I am happy to report that you have set an example of how to live and see things in the gray area, neither good nor bad.
I am learning to watch and listen on how to live with others and have healthy relationships. I am no longer being so stubborn that I refuse to learn a different way and being. Today I try to see my flaws without feeling like I am bad, just learning.
This willingness helps me in my relationships with you.
Doing a 4th and 5th step has helped me to learn and find some humility and to admit, see and forgive. Not everything is about me and my absolute thinking.
My gratitude this morning is for the people that walk my road of life with me. Neither of us is in charge, for I following my inter compass and my spiritual guides. I am thankful that I try to make myself available to help others where I can, again let my God be in the driver’s seat. I am thankful that my writing helps you and others even when I am not so sure it makes sense half of the time like this morning. I strive put my recovery first and learn about what comes next. My gratitude includes having an attitude of gratitude, being willing and open to new thoughts and behaviors. I am a work in progress and am learning to accept yours and my imperfections.
I hope you can find some gratitude and know you have a HP as well I, who is guiding you and me.
Rose
