A WOMAN’S SPIRIT #essentialsofrecovery

I always have a choice: to learn from the lessons life offers me or to retreat into my lonely victim role.

~ Charlotte Kasl ~

What a difference it makes in our journey to believe that every experience is an opportunity to grow and to heal the pain of being human. None of us travel this road unscathed. Our interactions are devastating on occasion, but we can survive them. And sharing how we did so can give other women hope and strength and healing when they most need it.

Luckily not every experience is hard or painful. Many moments every day are delightful. Sometimes the joy we feel and the laughter we share are simply the result of being grateful for our daily blessings. Our attitudes have far-reaching consequences in our lives. How we choose to interpret the actions of others determines how we feel. Our serenity doesn’t have to be dependent on others’ actions.

I will be as joyful as I choose today. If I’m willing to accept assistance, my Higher Power will help me make the choice.
