I went to work today. I haven't worked on a Saturday (except last week) for a couple of years now. I did have a certain reluctance to go, which is usual for me but I decided to change my attitude to one of expectancy and just go with the flow.
I enjoy the little shop, even though it is located near to some of my old haunts. It's on a small side street, which is very colourful, lots of Indian and Turkish shops, pavement cafés, lots of trendy up-and-coming concerns, a multitude of different nationalities, young people, bicycle riders, green leafy trees and all sorts. When the sun shines, it is picturesque and lively.
The shop itself has a warm atmosphere and very colourful with all the different clothes, bags and toys. There is a wonderful stereo system and I can bring my own CDs there and listen to my favorite music all day long, whilst I chat with the customers and practice being of service.
A lady came up to me today, I've seen her before. She started out by commenting on my blue eyes and dark hair, telling me that I was very attractive and kind and charming. She wondered if I would be interested in maybe working with her. She told me that she has the largest collection of antique clothing in Europe and that she has a kind of museum where she displays her collection and that she would be interested in having an English lady to work there etc. She took my telephone number and said she would be in contact.
I went into this program with an open mind, thinking about doors opening so that other doors can open. Nothing may come of this encounter...who knows! But it seems to me that more and more wonderful things are slowly opening up to me because I am putting my recovery first. I seek out my Higher Power and his will for me, and try my best to cultivate and deepen my relationship with him. I trust him, my life is in his hands. In the meantime I am happy in my life, with it's ups and downs! - Onwards and Upwards - here I come.
Thank you for my sobriety today
Peace to you all
