GRATITUDE

FRIDAY THE 13th-Gratitude
Just a little rambling today! It's been a tough week at the old ranch and with the most important human in my life. Tough through circumstances, not my actions.
Today is a great day (as is every day) to feel gratitude!
We have had a minor crisis occur. In my life long past and pre life recovery, I likely would have gone nuts and vented overtly at people who were just doing their job. My beloved crashed, I was glad to be able to stay in the moment, let things happen and calmly take action. This included just supporting, not trying to control or vent at "the boss".
I am truly grateful for the tools that I have learned along the road of life recovery and importantly, for concious contact with a power greater than me that always has, and still reside, within. I am grateful that I found this power through a major change in attitude. Friday the 13th has been a good day and that will continue based on my making good choices!
Each day I have to focus on gratitude for things that DO happen each day. There is far too much negativity in this world and in the environments I occupy space in. A wise Newfie (a Canadian thing) once shared a saying with me (a good story-contact me and I'll share) - he said, "Boy, laugh or cry; the price is the same". Positive or negative, grateful or depressed-daily choices we all have to make.
As you read this Friday the 13th note, see if you can relate. If you can, and want to be coached to an attitude adjustment, drop me a line! The start is free! (www.hopeserenity.ca). Take the time to be conciously grateful for something today!
