Abandoning our life or routines contributes to the problem and delays us from finding the solution.
I can't tell you how many times I put my life on hold while
I obsessed about "what might have been" or "what if tomorrow"
when the solution was to live in today and squeeze every
ounce of joy out of it and open my eyes and ears to all
the beauty around me.

A member sent me this reading today for posting, and her
timing was exactly right. I needed the reminder
that each day is a gift that I can squander in obsession and regret,
or that I can get busy living in the solution of my recovery.

I'm no spring chicken, and my days become more valuable as
I get older. And hindsight has shown me that living in obsession and fear
did nothing to make my day better...not once, not ever.

So, just for today I will LIVE it, grateful for all the gifts in
my life.

How about you? How will you choose to live today? You
DO have a choice.

Hugs
