Just wanted to say something.
I've been struggling lately.
I know what I need to do.
I need to surrender to something greater than myself
I need to be grateful to this program of recovery and promises which I have received this far.
I need to embrace the ability to make a choice.
I need to "Let Go" and "Let God"
I am a grateful recovering compulsive overater.
I went to my meetings this week.
I prayed.
I meditated.
I talked to my Higher Power.
And, I listened.
What message did it lead me to?
Do what's in front of you, right now.
Don't worry about the stuff that makes my head spin.
Don't 'work out' my issues with my loved ones the way I used to.
Be present.
Be prepared to be a vessel of unconditional love.
Be welcoming to all God's gifts -- the sorrows as well as the joys.
Live.
One day - only today!
Read.
Write.
Listen.
Grow.
Allow myself to make mistakes and accept that this is the humanness God wanted for us.
Its in our ability to ask for help that help finds us.
What else? Just be.
Learn, to just 'be'.
and say, "that's enough."
Thanks be to God






Attitude is everything!



Today will be what we make it.
Regardless of the weather, the
kinds of work to be done, the
personalities crossing our paths,
we'll feel joy and peace if that
is our choice.

Agonizing over circumstances that
aren't to our liking or dwelling
on our failure to control other people,
whether friends or foes, has robbed
us of the happiness that is always ours
to experience. Depression, anger, fear,
and frustration shadowed our steps
because we didn't take control of the
only thing that's ever been in our
control absolutely - attitude.

It's so easy to blame others for every
wrinkle in our lives. But as we grow
accustomed to the idea of taking full
responsibility for how we think and feel,
we'll be empowered. No longer will our
sense of self feel diminished. And, as
Abraham Lincoln is credited with saying,
we will be just as happy as we make up
our minds to be.

Nobody can mess with my attitude but me!
