trudging my road of happy destiny

March 18

Good morning,
Having too high of expectations is one of the things that has helped me to find my self trapped in the bottle of self pity and then onto the seat of AA. I still struggle with trying to find my way to have more balanced expectations, especially of myself, which in turn helps me to have more realistic expectations of you.
It seems as though my expectations have always been a thorn in my side. I can remember many Christmas’s where I thought I should have gotten more and better presents. And yes that is a childish way of thinking that has continued in to my adult life. At least I have a box full of tools to help me find the balance in that area of my life today. They’re still times when I fall short and backwards, but that is living as an imperfect being. Today I am grateful that I know the difference and don’t have to act on that character defect.
This morning I thankful I am feeling much better from my food poisoning incident. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. This morning I am thankful that we haven’t had the high winds like was expected over the last few days; we have only had some strong gusts. This morning during my meditation I came up with some ideas for future blogs, and yes I wrote down. One thing about meditation it makes room for free thinking. Sometimes that is disruptive, but others times it is appreciated. Today I am grateful I have appreciation for my life and those in my life. Today I am looking forward and not behind, which is a blessing from my God. I am thankful for the little things that I so often take for granted. Let’s let our light shine from our hearts shine, so others can find us.
Hugs Me
