What Can Be - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**Ann** · 11-13-2006, 03:41 AM

It is vast beyond imagination, too beautiful and magnificent for words, and sometimes quite frightening. It is the universe that you cannot touch, but which you can always begin to grasp.

Live your moments with full awareness, acceptance and respect for what is. Yet also stay intimately in touch with what can be.

In the realm of what can be, there are solutions to every problem and pathways through every challenge. The sweet fulfillment you've always sought, lives somewhere in what can be.

In what can be, there exists a kind of hope that nothing can diminish. In what can be, your options stretch out far beyond anything you might yet have imagined.

And the first step into what can be is the next step that you take. Joyfully respect and truly appreciate all that is, for that is what you take with you as you cross the threshold into what can be.

Let the limitations fall away from your thinking and allow your imagination to soar with the deepest longings in your heart. For even now, you are choosing your path through the limitless realm of what can be.

Wow. Nice eye-opener for me this morning.

Thanks Ann. Every minute matters to me. My life is so different than it was 18 months ago before I finally got clean and stayed clean. This may sound funny, but last night I was walking out of Hollywood video back to my truck in the rain and cold wind. I glanced at the ground while walking looked back up and thought to myself.....I enjoy this moment. I am grateful for this moment. I am grateful to be clean. Every moment matters to me. Life is a gift. Life is precious. I actually charish every moment. Even if its something as simple as walking out of a video store.

I find that awesome, Mike. I too treasure life today and find beauty in every single day. Indeed, life is a precious gift.
