”Do not dwell on
the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present
moment.”
John

Today is a gift. I am able to recognize,
not only my talents, but all the wonderful mentors, guides and friends that
bless me in my life. Right now I am connected to my Higher Power, my source
of faith, integrity and love. I know I am a part of a larger community, this
great extended family, due in large part to my recovery.
The past is a place for me to learn from
my experience. The future is the place for me to prove I am changing and
living a better life through my program. But the place and time for this to
happen is right here, right now. This is where I have the ability to make
change, to take action, make decisions and just be.
My life used to be about existing, simply
making it from moment to moment, never being fully engaged or responsible.
Today I am focused on living, on the principle of Carpe diem, of seizing the
day and squeezing out as much potential as I can. The world is full of
opportunity, wonder and beauty. I have so much to give, but even more that
can be enjoyed and appreciated. I am truly grateful for the awareness that is
allowing me to be present in the moment.

I
will live in the moment, keeping my attention of what is around me and all
the glorious things that my Higher Power has to offer me.

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.
