Gratitude list today: 1. My sponsor for showing me the way and always being there. 2. Showers - nothing like a nice hot shower to relax out the muscles and comfort the soul. 3. Forgiveness - the ability to let go and move forward. To be able to not hold on to the anger and allow healing. 4. Second chances - not letting the mistakes of mine or another cost a relationship at least on my part. 5. AA Meetings - they help me through life and remember who I am. I was asked the other day why I dont turn my back on people even if they hurt me or break me to almost nothing. Well I know what it is like to be thrown away, left behind, and broken not knowing if anyone would care. True there were plenty around but I couldnt see that. I know what it is to feel completely alone and as though there is no hope and no one to help. I dont want to ever be the reason someone else feels that way. I therefor try beyond belief to make sure to be there when someone needs. Maybe not always how they wish me to be, but always there. I will listen, pray, visit, or what ever is in my power at that time for them, but I will not close my heart and mind to the person and walk away. I will not shut them off. Even today, those that have shut me off, thrown me away, walked away, I forgive them and will be there if ever a day they need me. I aint that special just have a big heart that dont want others to know the pain that I have known in life. And in the end, I ask is it that important what ever made you mad? Is the chance to live love not an option? Is the anger that much? This is what we got to ask ourselves! For me, there are certain things that are just not that important! I wont drink over them, loose my serenity over them, and wont stop living love over them! So I will own my parts, try to make amends, and if I was the one wronged, I will let it go, cause at the end of the day, love, patience, and tolerance are the keys to my sobriety and serenity. At the end of the day, I can say is my part is that I tried. Now what they do I am powerless over, but I am here and not given up on them! No one, and I mean no one, is worthless and should be given up on. Okay, that is it for today, got to get ready for today is full of stuff!
