Many people living in one day at a time recovery live and imagine the realities of our journeys. What we understand is that we create our worlds in our own minds. At least we imagine we do. Living in our recovery we learn that there are many unforeseen and unexpected events that occur during our journeys and it is up to us to discover (imagine) and practice (live) such journeys with the hopes and perhaps even the expectations that we shall strive and thrive as children of God, the spirit or the universe in such ways that living in recovery is always within our grasp. No matter what, we shall live okay and doable lives. Once we have made that commitment to recovery, and we live and imagine such realities, we shall forever remember what freedom is. It is the essential and living choice to love. The kindness of others reveals this to us. Even in tragedy one day at a time we are free. In addition to this we shall experience happiness and joy. We shall understand empathy and concern for others. We shall receive and give grace. And last but not least we shall be touched with the ability to see, feel, and know that we are inextricably connected to the other. Those we are akin with are our reality. We have experienced too much to believe otherwise. Peace.
