Which Way Will I Go?

The morning is somewhat gray and blah, but the time is good. It's mornings like this that I realize I have a choice that effects the rest of my day. Nothing has happened to thrust me into a good mood or make me feel that the day is going to be wonderful. There have even been a couple of set backs already. But the truth is I have a choice. I can enjoy my time with my Creator, I can focus on the birds singing more than the gray skies, I look forward to the opportunities that I have in my life today rather than fear all the things that can go wrong. Some days, I am blessed and it's easy to go with the flow and have a good day, full of joy in doing the next right thing. Other days, I have to fight negative circumstances and attitudes. But some days could go either way. Before recovery, most days that could've gone either way went to the negative. It was easy to focus on the negative and all the things that could've gone wrong and then escape from the feelings I fed myself. Today, I choose a better way. I choose to let God guide me and make today good. I I choose to see and appreciate all the things I have to be grateful for.
