Affirming the Good

Fun becomes fun, love becomes love, life becomes worth living. And we become grateful.
--Beyond Codependency

Wait, and expect good things - for yourself and your loved ones.

When you wonder what is coming, tell yourself the best is coming, the very best life and love have to offer, the best God and His universe have to send. Then open your hands to receive it. Claim it, and it is yours.

See the best in your mind; envision what it will look like, what it will feel like. Focus, until you can see it clearly. Let your whole being, body and soul, enter into and hold onto the image for a moment.

Then, let it go. Come back into today, the present moment. Do not obsess. Do not become fearful. Become excited. Live today fully, expressing gratitude for all you have been, all you are, and all you will become.

Wait, and expect good things.

Today, when I think abut the year ahead, I will focus on the good that is coming.

I never knew life could hold so many good things for me, all gifts of recovery and blessings from God.

May the coming year bring each one of you good things, new beginnings, happy days ahead.

Happy New Year, dear friends.

I do a version of this each day, I think, when I say out loud a few affirmations about my life (2 for me) and my AD (1 for her). I back each one of my positive affirmations up with quotes from the Bible and from the Basic Text of NA. I allow myself to believe and then I go and have my day.

And Happy New Year to you, too, Ann!
