Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Epicurus
I love it! Haven't we all been there especially in recovery. Each day we have more clean time we are living in what was once something we have only hoped for among the many, many other miracles that come along with recovery. So just for today I will remember right now I am living the wonderful life I had only hoped for before. I will also remember to keep on hoping and knowing that those hopes can be fullfilled and someday I will be living an even better life that was once only a dream.
Much love and respect.

How did I miss this one yesterday?
You're right -- a lot of the stuff I chased during active addiction now seem like insanity to me, while things I thought entirely out of my reach are falling into my hands without my even trying particularly hard to get them. Like simple contentment. Just being reasonably happy today. Gratitude.
Thanks, Jane!
Love,
Gina
