Gratefulness
Gratitude is happiness.

Gratitude is a state of mind, a way of seeing things, and a spiritual practice. It enriches my life and focuses my attention on the good. Mindfully, I look for and acknowledge every blessing in my life. I am thankful for clean air and water, knowing they are precious. I am grateful for the love of friends and family. I give thanks that my needs are met—from the basic nece-ssities to my grandest dreams.

When I live in gratitude, I tap into the infinite reservoir of divine good. I experience the fullness of life and recognize God as my source. My first waking thought is gratitude and my final nighttime prayer is thanksgiving. Gratitude is happiness, and I make it my way of life.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.—Psalm 9:1

Daily Word

A grateful alcoholic/addict will never have a reason to pick up. They may find lots of excuses, and when they go back out, they are choosing to play god with their lives.

It is those little things, i.e. the sun is shining, a favourite song plays on the radio, what you need is on sale in the store, you see a friend you haven't seen for a while, you are feeling a bit low and the phone rings, etc.

A few little thanks become a big thank you for another day.
