You have the opportunity to respond to whatever happens in your world. And the way you respond determines the quality of your life. What matters most is not what happens to you. What matters most is the way you respond. ~Ralph Marston

Today I am grateful...
- for the complexity of the sensual world, not the sexual stuff, but all we experience through our senses. If you concentrate on it things change for a moment.
- for the incredible creativity that surrounds me, humans and Higher Power are capable of amazing things
- for all the choices I have today, including to stay sober instead of falling back into misery
- for my recovery program guided by a sponsor and a Higher Power
- that of all the things I may miss in this world, alcohol and cigarettes are not on that list
I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. ~William Allen White

Great quotes today. I too am grateful for all that I experience through my senses. Thanks for the reminder of all that surrounds me. I sometimes forget to look.
Thanks for reminding me to strive to be present
I love your last point of gratitude!
Re the 1st quote: I think the way one responds determines your physical health too!
I love the quotation at the top!
And the stuff you said ain't bad, either.
I love your last comment about what you DON'T miss. That is a good item.
It's wonderful that you, as an artist, can be "incredibly creative" without the aid of mind altering stuff. Elton John has found the same to be true.
I am grateful for you Mr. Scott W.
