waking up...

the greatest thing about waking up in the morning, or late morning...(lol), is that you wake up without a hangover...

there is another kind of hangover however; it is an emotional one. if we acted in ways that are inharmonious to our recovery the day before, we will surely feel it in our being upon awakening.

now that recovery is less about the drugs and alcohol, and more about our emotional reactions and behaviour, it presents a chance for us to really look within ourselves with that rigorous honesty that is the tool to recreating our lives now.

we must 'get right' with ourselves and our 'higher power' before we can truly 'get right' with another...

as we continue practicing self-honesty, and work on us...amazing things start to happen...we begin to be a part of, instead of apart...we begin to care for others in a genuine way, and we think less of ourselves...and we inevitably intuit that the Spirit of the Universe is definitely doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves...

we begin laughing more, losing ourselves in service to others...

this does not mean that we do not take care of ourselves...every morning is spent in prayer and meditation to improve our contact with that power greater than ourselves...however; we have come to believe that God knows what is best for us, and so we leave the things we cannot change to God...and just go and wash those dirty dishes!
