Gratitude

When I went to AA years ago, I noticed they talked a lot about gratitude. This morning (Thanksgiving) a friend had posted this on Facebook:

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order,
confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into
success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into
important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

I don't know who wrote it, but I thought it was a great way to begin the day and wanted to share it with you! Coincidentally, when I was having r-e-a-l-l-y bad days and urges to drink in early sobriety, finding something to be grateful for turned my head around like nothing else did.

This morning I'm grateful for all of you and for our collective sober time!! Go team!
