AA Thought for the Day

April 1, 2007

The Gift

Life doesn't care whether I agree with what's happening or not.
Life doesn't care whether I think it's fair.
My only real job on a daily basis is to accept what comes my way
and be grateful for the opportunities
that all circumstances present to me.
I need to be grateful that I have been given a second chance
at life in whatever form it takes on a daily basis. . .
It's a gift, and not one I can afford to take for granted. . .
Every day sober is a good day.

Thought to Ponder....

Every day is a gift.
That is why we call it the present.
