Good morning,
As the flower of my recovery continues to open, one petal at a time, I accumulate and enrich my life with the knowledge of how to live in this ever changing landscape of my world.
However, some days it seems like a high standard to achieve. I can believe in myself and use the positive self talk I have the choice of using. My depression will squeeze itself into my daily life wherever it can. It wants me to stay quiet and not share about it with others. Today I have the willingness to put my faith forward in my mind rather than the depression. A friend told me once that depression comes from unmet expectations. I don’t know if it is that easy, but I can believe and fake it until I make it. Today I am grateful to wake up in my wonderful home and to be able to have the willingness to do what it takes to be a productive member of my family and society. This morning I am thankful for the act of prayer and putting myself in the loving hands of my God of my understanding. My belief doesn’t have to look like yours and that is ok today. I am thankful for this new day and for the opportunities it will bring if I believe and am open minded.
I am thankful and grateful for you all and the support you give me everyday I reach out and show up. I can give of myself to others and be relieved of the bondage of self. I am thankful for that choice; I think I will take that idea and use it to my own benefit. It works if I choose to work it.
Hugs Me
