To avoid pain at all costs forces us to reject half the lessons life can teach. --Jan Pishok

Today I am grateful...

• that yesterday was full, full, full.
• that I remembered to ask for my thoughts to be redirected.
• that I have to remain compassionate with a loved one who is active in his disease.
• to have been willing to practice new behavior.
• to remember what it used to be like as I observed someone DS and I were dealing with, who reeked of alcohol at 2:30 in the afternoon and struggled to write coherently.
• for internet music videos.

If you can allow the taking of your next step to be as easy as putting one foot in front of the next, you'll notice that your next step is always the one that is right in front of you. All you have to do is put one foot forward and on the ground. ~today's DailyOm
