Quote:
This leaves only one day-today. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burden of those two awful eternities, yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives us mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something, which happened yesterday, or the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore do our best to live but one day at a time. Am I living one day at a time?

My life is so much in today that things seem to slip away and time just disappears. I must admit to wanting Saturday to be here a couple of times this week. Each time it came to mind though, I brought myself back in the moment reminding myself, it is just today.
One day's thoughts and actions. One day's experiences, adventures, and disappointments. When we live in today, the pictures isn't so overwhelming. When I try to bring in yesterday and tomorrow, today becomes unmanageable.
Give God the gift of a thankful heart.
Don't think I have read those line before, if so, it was a long time ago. Similiar words and meanings but just not put that way. That is my gift today that I will take with me.
I am so grateful for recovery. It has given me so much. The greatest gift has been myself. Without sobriety, I would be dead. There wasn't much 'me' left and recovery has put me back together again, one day at a time.
God and I are still working on it!
