Default Good Thoughts???

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

You feel the way you do right now because of the thoughts you are thinking at this moment.
—David D. Burns

Good thoughts are like bright colors in a painting. Negative thoughts are dark and dreary and drab. Each day we paint pictures of our own lives with our thoughts. If we step back and look at the canvas, we will see whether the picture is alive with bright colors or dreary and lifeless like a dark cloud. Our thoughts have the power to bring joy or sadness our way, depending on what we expect or look for in our surroundings. The choice of how we want our lives to be is ours. Since we paint a new picture each day, we are always free to change things when they don't please us. What better time than the present?

Is there something in my life I'd like to change today?
Always know when I am slipping back into my disease. I start to cuss and I start thinking thoughts that resemble my old ways, and all I have to do is hear myself talk, and I know I have to take it to my God in prayer, go to a meeting, talk to my sponsor, and go back to basics. It is always the thinking behind the action that needs to change for me.
