trudging my road of happy destiny

May 4

Good morning,
All emotions are a valid part of life and they only end when we no longer wish to exist. Luckily today I can understand what this means because I have seen and experienced the death of someone and of the valuable emotions that are a part of a life well lived. My disease took almost all my emotions away, except for hatred and my self loathing of myself. I am thankful to day that I have worked the steps and all of that emotional baggage has disappeared. Our steps are made for renewing our existing emotions that prove to be not congruent to living a more healthier life. However, all emotions serve the purpose of growing ourselves. I like that. I lived to drink and with feeding a negative pool of emotions. Today I no longer put water into that negative pool of yuck.
This seems to be a sad topic for a morning gratitude list and check in, but not really because life is full of the experience of all feelings.
That is where my gratitude comes to exist, because without pain I would not be able to recognize joy when I feel it. I feel very happy to enjoy that purpose of living and giving. I cannot give away what does not exist within myself.
This morning I am thankful for who I am and all that I feel today. I am a complete person full of questions and looking for answers. Willingness is key to the end all and be all of life. Thank you God for his purpose of teaching me the very meaning of living a life of joy and contentment. I am grateful that I get to spend the day with a very dear friend. And once again (you probably get sick of reading this,) I am thankful for you and your loving kindness.
Have a wonderful hump day and know today is all we have.
Love Rose (Me)
