Thank you is one of the most important things we can say to anyone. Thank you packs a lot of meaning into two little words. Thank you says, "I see you. I see what you have done for me. You have been kind to me. I know it takes work to be kind. I feel special that you did the work of being kind to me. I am grateful."
Sometimes it is hard for us to say thank you because we are too busy feeling shame or sadness or anger. So what? No excuses. Those feelings are our own problems, and we know what to do about them now that we have a recovery program. No matter what is going on with us, we can always find help. And we can always be kind to others. Saying thank you is an easy way to start.
Prayer for the Day
Thank You, Higher Power. Thank You for the gift of life, for a world of natural beauty and power to live in, and for the people around me who love me and accept my love. Thank You for caring about me and helping me every day in my recovery, and please help me ask for the gift of Your help each day.
Today's Action
Today I will practice thinking "Thank You, Higher Power" every time I receive a little help or a lucky break.
It's been an amazing week for me. I am so very thankful for the oppurtunities I have been given. My prayers have been answered and I am now employed at the local library. Being in recovery has helped me to see the world more clearly. Today I just want to thank all of you for supporting me, being a part of my life, for helping me to stay connected with my HP and for the friendships we share. Each one of you fill my heart each day with love, honesty, compassion, forgiveness, and the will to stand tall no matter what I face in my life. I thank you all dear friends you are my guardian angels.
Love & Hugs
--Jennifer
