Many of us who are living in one day at a time recovery know each and every day hasn’t happened before it happens. That makes each day an unprecedented day. We can fret or worry, or we can anticipate, with almost certainty – happiness, grace, and joy. The trump card is the surprise, or the unexpected. They happen every day, either the noticeable, or the unnoticeable. The noticeable trump card can make us aware of the unprecedented event of the day. The unnoticeable might be something as simple as a new blade of grass in a neighbors front yard. Each day is unprecedented. At times some of us experience a sense of newness during our moments of repetition. Days begin to seem all the same, but this sense of newness becomes an epiphany to our inner-senses. We recognize the unprecedented moment or event. We feel it and we realize that this event, or moment, has never happened before. More often than not it brings with it a sense of awe and a sense of peace. We know that change does happen and change will happen. We learn recovery is a journey and this unprecedented journey continues. One day at a time we find peace. We learn struggles will pass. We know how to be happy, joyous, and free. If we don’t know how, it will come to us. It’s part of the journey.
