Birthday’s are but once a year….
I’m 52 today. Although we have birthday’s but once a year and feel the happiness and elation of a happy day with celebration—most people don’t realize that we can feel this way every day if we choose too. We don’t have to only be happy and elated on our birthday, and in my case also on my 2nd birthday of each year or my AA birthday. I have the choice every day that I wake up to feel happy. To feel grateful that my feet hit the ground; that I had a good night’s sleep and I am headed to a AA meeting and will get to see my friends; that I am sober; that I have a family including a beautiful 12 year old daughter who makes me smile every day along with my husband who provides for us both so well. You see it’s what I choose to reflect on that makes the day great. Focus on positive and everything is great. Focus on negative and everything seems miserable. What will you focus on today?
