We all face a new beginning every morning when we wake. A friend of mine has told me that we don’t just wake up. He tells me that we are awakened. This idea is becoming more apparent to me every day. Each day is a new beginning.
Please don’t get me wrong. I do understand the dilemma of every day being groundhog day. These are the days that we just can’t get out of the funk, the stress, or the depression that we are in. It is my experience that drinking alcohol or smoking dope doesn’t help either.
I believe that we are meant to connect with other people. I also believe that we go through difficult times and I try to take my life, and my recovery just one day at a time. There is work to do in staying well.
Many people ask for help in prayer and begin their lives putting one foot in front of the other.
Therefore we begin the day with a new beginning. The day might be routine, or the day might be a difficult or challenging task. But every awakening is a new beginning.
I have a friend who reminds me that the bad days will pass. So will the good ones. For the better part when we can get out of the troubles and unhealthy obsessions in our minds we will understand. We see the new beginning.
