Creating Recovery

Let your heart awaken to the transforming power of gratefulness.

~Sarah Ban Breathnach

The biggest pumpkin takes the prize but it’s the patch that lights up the sky.

When life bestows a big miracle such as a reunion with a long-lost love, an unexpected windfall or some life-altering insight, we feel that all is right with the universe. Expressions of gratitude spring readily to our lips. Life is beautiful.

The ordinary pales in comparison.

It’s easy to overlook the small blessings that make up our everyday experience: a warm breeze, a refreshing beverage, a good story. Life satisfaction, however, depends on them. Although the big things change the course of our journey, it’s the little things that sustain and keep us moving forward.

Recovery is fueled by a sense of being nurtured on a consistent basis. You can gain this awareness by acknowledging the commonplace things in your presence.

Focus daily, for just a few moments, on your personal experience of prosperity and soon you will realize that your needs are being met. Here and now. Each and every day. Life is beautiful.
