Today...
Will you join me?
Will you join me in living this life as it is?
Will you gratefully draw your breath and be aware of all the amazing, miraculous, blessed beauty there is in the universe?
Will you drink deeply of the water of this earth, feel it nourish you, let it become your?
Will you extend a bit of love and warmth to another human, connect with them intimately, look in their eyes to see them and be seen?
Will you run or walk or cycle... feel the air surround you?
Will you watch a sunrise, a sunset, a flight of passing c?
Will you put one foot before the other and really feel each moment.
Just for today, will you grab onto the life you've been given and be fully present in it?
I hope you will. I hope you'll find beauty and strength and love in it.
I hope you'll spend this day clean, sober, free, open and accepting to the miracle of a life of freedom.

Uplifting FreeOwl ,
I will partake in some of those ,
I am going swimming ,
I am sober and will be all day .
I fixed up an old laptop and gave it away to a low earning friend last night .
I will plant 12 pure white petunia in my garden as a symbol of love and peace and as I watch them mature and blossom I will draw strength from them .

Took two grandchildren ( boys 9 ,11 ) swimming . Not that I can swim much but doc advised this for exercise on my dicky knee ,loved it ,got a natural endorphin releasing happiness afterwards .
Petunia planting will have to wait as the weather is not so nice in my part of the world right now .
Love being off that poison and feeling , just feeling .

Freeowl, thanks! I am getting so much out of my designated SR time today and love this. So...
Today:
I will do stretches; I am so, so tight and physically boxed in that I creak. No 39 year old should creak!
I will remember to put a bunch of coins in my pocket so when a customer doesn't have a penny to make a round payment, or is a few short of their dinner order (I work in a fast food place) I can take care of it for them.
I will clean up my apt and do laundry, and look around at how lucky I am to (still) have nice things and how much better I feel when things are tidy and clothes are shiny.
I will thank my parents for the beyond-parental-love-bounds support they are still giving me after all I have been through and put them through.
I will just smile and think "not my circus, not my monkeys" if I feel the need to correct or otherwise "help" someone do something, or do it "better."
I will tell myself how glad I am for Day 96!!
