Todays gift! - Gratitude - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Today's thought is:

Today I will be grateful for where I am now.

My life might not be perfect, and I might not have achieved the goals I thought I would have by now; I might not be living the kind of life I thought I would be or want to be, but I'm grateful for this day, right now, and the fact that I've made a commitment to myself to live a life in which I'm treated with respect and dignity.

I will use this day as a gift, one that I've given myself because I deserve it. I will use this day to be glad for all I've accomplished.

I'm deserving, worthy, and valuable.

I'm a lovable person, and today I thank the person who helped me understand this: me. :->

Time2Surrender, thank you for this.

It's easy for me to be grateful on my good days, it's just so obviously the way to feel. It's on my bad days that I need to remember all the gifts and wonderful things in life that I have been blessed with, and feel gratitude.

My evening prayers, each night, are to pray for others and to say "thank you' for myself. Doing this daily keeps me from forgetting where my gifts come from.

Hugs
Ann
