”I have always been delighted at the
prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of
magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.”
J. B. Priestly

I
still believe in miracles and magic. I believe in the power of imagination,
that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. My kids are a great
reminder of this power; in their innocence they see the world through
unblemished eyes and without prejudice. I am so grateful that as much as I
teach them that there is so much I can learn in observing what they do and
how they think.
I
am thankful that I can still appreciate the small things in life: a beautiful
sunset or sunrise, birds singing on a warm spring morning, dew glistening on
an intricate spider web, laughing until my stomach hurts, listening to a
touching song or piece of music or reading a great book. So many small
miracles and pieces of magic surround me each and every day. I feel so lucky
to have gained sobriety so that I may enjoy each and every one.
Each
day opens before us with unlimited possibility and potential. For me, life is
too short to carry forward the failures of yesterday or to add in the worries
of tomorrow. The hint of the unknown lurking around the next corning is what
keeps life interesting for today.

Affirmation

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
