trudging my road of happy destiny

May 1

Good morning,
My sobriety involves a practice of learning to understand my reality and my place in the world I live in.
I do not have control over anyone except myself. I was so relieved when I first heard that in a meeting. I had alway thought I had to control and had take care of those closest to me, but today I have a better understanding of my place in the big picture of reality. I have lived and run by my ego most of my adult life. Today I choose differently. My mindfulness practice is teaching me that there is more to my brain than just the place where my ego lives, with much more positive thoughts and my intuition.
I am continually thankful for the willingness to be teachable.
I am thankful for a good weekend and for living in the solution and not the problem. I was able to have a full weekend of activities and have been sleeping well. What beautiful blessings I am living with today. I am grateful for you all, family and friends. I am so very thankful for having choices in my thinking and behavior today.
I am off to do some yoga, work and my meeting. I also have time to make connections and phone calls today; after all I need you today and am here for you as well.
Let’s have an awesome day, being thankful for what we have.
Hugs Me
