Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Too many people miss the silver lining because they’re expecting gold. — Maurice Setter

Silver shines just as bright as gold does. So often we forget this. So often we push, push, push. We forget to live for the moment. Trying too hard can be a defect of character. It can be a way we avoid life.

Gratitude, being thankful, is a key part of recovery. Not just gratitude for getting our self-respect back. Not just gratitude for having a Higher Power. But gratitude for the moment. We’re alive again. Let’s see each moment as a time to explore life.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, thanks for helping me to enjoy each moment. I have gratitude for being alive.

Action for the Day

I’ll list ten gifts of recovery for which I have gratitude.
