Today is my niece's 4th birthday. She is such a gift to me!!
We are going to see my sister and celebrate with her. It's a blessing for today she'll be clean and able to enjoy being with family.
The visiting times conflict with my Nar-anon meeting, so I'd like to share this reading from Courage to Change:
"Let me make this day a celebration of the spirit. There is a part of me that retains a childlike sense of curiosity, wonder, enthusiasm, and delight. I may have lost touch with it, but I know it exists. I will set my problems to the side for a little while and appreciate what it means to be vitally alive."
When we look for the joy in life, it's there with open arms.
