For Today: August 23rd

Let us live while we live.

Philip Doddridge

Now that I am free of compulsive overeating and have a way to live, I am eager to look at other things in my life that impede my spirit. I want to be free of all my excess baggage---fixed ideas and ways of responding that make it hard to like myself.  I want to live with zest and enthusiasm, to be confident enough to step out of myself, to put my life in the sunlight of the spirit and live.

For Today: Having saved my life, let me live it.

Once I was free of compulsive overeating, it became clear to me that there were TONS of areas that needed my attention; those areas that had suffered while I was out there pursuing my addiction.  The house had (and still does) to be de-cluttered,  for one, and that’s an ongoing project.  Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by everything that needs my attention. But that’s ok: I have a plan in place to deal with everything, one step at a time, one day at a time, with my Higher Power behind me every step of the way!

I don’t want to live with a squashed down spirit for one more day!  My old way of thinking is slowly dying off and being replaced with a renewed sense of purpose and joy., thanks to this fantastic program.

For today, I will face the chores ahead of me without complaining, and I will find joy in even the most mundane activity.  If that activity is part of LIFE, then I want to LIVE it to the fullest.
