Good Morning readers. 'tis another beautiful sunny day. Ok, the sun is shining but the windchill is -19 degrees :eek: . I am having my morning coffee and getting ready to go to physical therapy. The boys have the day off of school but we are managing pretty good together.

I hope everyone had a good night and today is a new day so you can start fresh and look ahead. Start with no regrets, no I wish I would haves or I wish I wouldn't haves, just moving forward today. Smile and brace yourself with the strength you have to defeat all temptation, stressors and those mean people you will meet while out in the world today. Give them a big smile :D , they will think you are crazy and walk away.

I wish all a clean and sober second, minute, day :cool: !

Sure wish we had seen the sun today! :( It was cloudy all day and we had snow showers off and on. But at least it got a bit warmer - a few degrees above zero is nice for a change! LOL

Just thought I'd share a reading -

Today's thought is:

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt

In this moment, we are the best we can be. Today, we can work at loving the best in ourselves and not fearing the worst. We are truly wonderful and growing people with gifts and qualities that make us who we are. No one can make us feel inferior without our consent.

Now, we are in charge of our lives and growth. We can choose to let go of old negative thinking. We can choose to think positive, loving thoughts about ourselves. We never need to be victims again to addiction or to other people. We have options today. We can choose to grow in a positive recovery program. We can choose to have loving, affirming people in our lives.

Today I will stick with the winners. I am a winner today and every day.

You are reading from the book: Our Best Days by Nancy Hull-Mast

That is great teddiebears. It is so often hard to feel or live this way when we are not in a good place mentally. I read this and for the moment feel uplifted which I imagine is the purpose. Thank you. I will try to go to bed holding on to it.
