”Be happy for this moment. This moment is
your life.”
Omar Khayyam

It
never ceases to amaze me how often I get the urge to simply stop and be. To
take deep breaths and taste life in the air around me, to truly look at the
world around me and see it as though it is the first time, to hear the music
and rhythm in all the sounds that surround me. It is wonderful to be alive,
to be content with who I am, as I am, and knowing that my Higher Power
accepts me just as I am.
There
is so much freedom and power in no longer having to be someone or something
for others. I am who I am, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, happy, angry, sad,
joyful, rich, or poor. The direction of my life comes from the God of my
understanding, my serenity, love strength and courage come from within and I
feel better equipped to deal with life.
Right
here, right now, this very instant is the only time I have to work with…it is
tiny, minute, yet contains infinite potential. I have wasted too many moments
in acting out, in regret for the past or worry for the future. Instead I will
just be present, living in the now and try to harness the amazing power that
lies within the grasp of each precious moment.

Affirmation
Stop.
Listen. Taste. Touch. Breathe. Look. Be. It’s great to be alive!

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.
