We say that a grateful alcoholic or addict will not drink or drug; he would never even consider it. I am so grateful that I am grateful. If I look at my life objectively or comparatively, I would hate so much of it. Nothing is really as I would have planned it or even wanted it. Yet, I have learned that whatever it is sober, it is good and I am free to choose my attitude under any and all circumstances. October, being the month of perseverance, I welcome the feeling of persevering and overcoming great odds. Yet, God has a great sense of humor and great sense of timing. When I pray for perseverance, I actually receive more events, more challenges and more obstacles to overcome.
This morning I ran 9 miles and did 1 hour of weight training - then abs workout. I am emotionally and physically drained. I am so tired. I laughed and cried. These are conditions of my endorphins off the charts. I am so grateful that I have the ability to see the good in all things and to see suffering as optional.
