I was wondering if anyone on this amazing community would like to share their gratitude for today ? I don't mind startingÂ
I'm grateful for
1. Cherry blossom covering my drive with pink flowers. The wind has blown it down over night but it looks beautiful. I know that my cherry blossom tree blooms for just a few weeks but I can appreciate it and not miss it when it's gone. Life is about events and not all will last the whole year but that doesn't mean I can regret enjoying them
2. A calm and peaceful morning
3. My son going back to school today, my partner going to work, my daughter going to my mother in law's which gives me the opportunity to clean the house, wash and iron to keep the home running
4. The joy of looking forward to my GA meeting this evening. At my first one 33 years ago it didn't make sense, now it does
5. Determination and knowledge to make this a good day. My character defects will always exist but do not need to be used today. If I do then I will take reflection and change. Good characteristics are the way forward
6. For happiness within but to know that happiness is energy and can exude outwards to other people I meet. A smile is transferred when meeting others today.
7. For the modern meeting. Although it will be 1am and strictly tomorrow it's part of today as no sleep between. The chance to meet, listen and share with friends in America
8. Community and all that means, recovery, family, friends and outside community
9. My routine, direction and guidance
10. For the walk I will take today. No phone, no headphones, just a calm walk and take in my environment, nature and the people I will pass. I'm grateful that these simple 10 things will make it a great day, one day at a time
