Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand that gratitude is followed with work. We continue to work after good news, good outcomes, lessons learned, and other gifts that we graciously appreciate. When we recognize our gratitude we cannot help but to live with a more positive frame of mind. In doing so we become better equipped to be of assistance to others and we know that when we help others we are actually helping ourselves. What we learn to understand is that grateful people help to make other grateful people. It’s a reality of living in one day at a time recovery. Gratitude is always followed by work. It’s our way of passing the torch. It’s an act of humility. Peace.
