or joy and laughter!
it really is my choice today!
i can walk around way too serious and take every jibe as a personal attack or i can learn to lighten up and look on the brighter side of life.
it is not that i have any serious issues today -- i have a friend and brother in recovery that is dying of liver cancer that i am powerless to help in any physical manner, i have discovered the nature of the insanity that is blocking me from my hopes, and i have a sponsee and a friend who are both struggling to get and stay clean. not too much on my plate, but not a day goes by when that i do not want to do something to change the way i feel about these issues and more. yes i could walk around with a cloud over my head and fret about these issues or i can let them go and do what i can GOD take care of them. i can offer my terminal friend my support and make a joke or two with him. i can do my step work and come to believe that my insanity can be lifted. and i can offer my experience, strength and hope to my friend and sponsee and let them know that i will help in a manner i can.
for me, life is far too short to go through it without a bit of mirth, a laugh at my foibles or a smile in my heart in some moment.
