Laughter

.

.

.

“the most wasted

of all days is

one without laughter.”

.

~ e. e. cummings

.

.

.

laughter is good when we laugh

with others, not at them.

laughter is good when we laugh

at ourselves.

laughter is good when we laugh

body, mind and soul.

today, look for the happiness,

know that it can be found in kindness and love

and in a friend with whom you can share a laugh.

Recovery is a good laugh.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

No Excuses

.

“If you really want

to do something,

you’ll find a way.

If you don’t,

you’ll find an excuse.”

.

~ Jim Rohn

.

Don’t lie, but be tactful.

Excuses are lies dressed up in fancy words.

Today, if you have a reason or even if you do not

have a reason to do or not do something,

be honest, do not make lame excuses.

Today, negotiate, accommodate, moderate,

compromise, just be kind and find an honest

mutual path to happy, joyous and free.

Recovery is never having to make an excuse.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

Do Something

.

“Life is inherently risky.   

There is only one big risk

you should avoid

at all costs,   

and that is the risk of

doing nothing.”

.

.

~ Denis Waitley

.
Lead, follow or just get out of the way.

Today, start with an attitude of gratitude

and thank your Higher Power for giving you

one more day, one day at a time.

Today, get out of yourself,

do a random act of senseless kindness

without expectation of a personal reward

and try to make this world a better place for all.

Recovery is taking the risk to do something.

Sobriety is a blessing from a Higher Power.

We Have The Key

.

“So often time

it happens,

we all live

our life in chains,

and we never even know

we have the key.”

.

~ The Eagles

.

Fear, anger, hate, pride, jealousy;

some of the many links in the chain

that prevents us from living a life

that is happy, joyous and free.

Love, kindness, patience, tolerance, forgiveness,

we all possess the master keys that can open any heart.

Today, ask a friend, ask your Higher Power

to show you how to use the many keys that

the Great Creator has given unto us all.

Recovery is finding the key to serenity and peace of mind.

Sobriety is a blessing from our Higher Power.

And, if no one has told you yet today,

God loves you and so do we.

Me, You and God

.

“Pray as though

everything

depended on God.

Work as though

everything

depended on you.”

.

~ Saint Augustine

.

God has designed this world to be a “WE” world,

me, you and God; with the sole purpose of having

us work together to make this Uni-verse

a better place for all.

Today, pray to God that you may have only

kind and loving thoughts and that all of your actions

will make this “WE” world happy, joyous and free.

Today, act as though the world depends on you.

Recovery is depending on God and self.

Choose To Be Kind

.

“Attachment

to being right

creates suffering.

When you

have a choice

to be right,

or to be kind,

choose kind

and watch your suffering disappear.”

.

~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

.

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Pain is a two way street, often what pains you

will also pain those closest to you.

Suffering is a one way dead end street and it is all yours.

Today, know that what is right at this point in time

may not be right tomorrow

but a kindness will be right forever.

Recovery is choosing to be kind.

Sobriety is a blessing from our Higher Power.

Without Comparing

.

.

“Enjoy your own life

without comparing it

with that of another.”

.

.

~ Marquis de Condorcet

.

.

People who value feelings, love, kindness,

and contentment, have everything in life,

while many who possess the things,

the toys with all of the bells and whistles,

may be miserable souls who do not know

happy, joyous and free, real enjoyment.

Today, be a friend, do not compare the outsides,

identify with what is in the friends heart.

Today, seek you own happiness first,

then share the love.

Recovery is your own, no comparing.

Sobriety is a blessing from our Higher Power.
