— Joan Fitzgerald
We can start our day over any time we choose. If we wake up crabby, on the “wrong side of the bed,” we are not doomed to a day of gloom. Each minute can be a new reality for us. We can start a new day with just an ounce of willingness. There are days when we get stuck in the mud of depression. Part of us wants to begin again and another part seems to like to dig around in our problems. We might even feel like just staying stuck in the dark side of today. As addicts, we are used to feeling betrayed, injured, persecuted, and generally sick and tired.
Willingness to try another way is the start. We can take a second to choose to look at our gray day in a more positive way.
Today let me start over when I find myself glued to my troubles and negativity.
