The strongest of all warriors are these two --Time and Patience. ~Leo Tolstoy

Today I am grateful…

  • that when I detach from the craziness of this world the more peace I find
  • that if I pay enough attention today will teach me something I didn't know or perceive yesterday
  • for all the things I will forget today for which I am grateful
  • that my sober days pass fairly quickly and smoothly. My drinking days passed slowly and painfully.
  • that I can give the custodianship of my life to my Higher Power

Celebrate with awe how far you've come in those first few steps of sobriety and in your faith and willingness to let go of your fears. Celebrate those first faltering moments of learning what it meant to take care of yourself. Even now, with each step you take, you are being transformed. Celebrate! ~More Language of Letting Go

custodianship, I like that.

God willing, I might pay attention, perceive, forget, and be grateful.

Blessings and aloha...

The world has much craziness. Some days I feel like I don't understand what is happening.

To this day, I still wear 2 of those silver circles that I was given at 90 days of sobriety...Peace and Patience. Both of which I continue to work on today. Great post.

My days seem to pass at the pace intended. But I am grateful for each.
