Day 265

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a recovering alcoholic/addict.  Today I saw something about optimism.  I really like that little saying.  Your perception of things has a lot to do with your attitude. Choosing to be optimistic just feels better.  If I say I can't, there is no way I ever will, if I don't try.  If I think I can, I will.

Optimism is essential to achievement and is also the foundation of courage and true progress. --Nicholas Murray Butler


That is one thing I learned about recovery.  If I choose to be negative and be a "sober drunk", I can't really be happy. If want to truly be a "recovering alcoholic", I need to be optimistic.  Perception is a choice.  I can choose to say a cup is half empty or half full, but technically it is full.  1/2 water and 1/2 oxygen.   :)  Every morning when my day starts, I need to smile, at least it is a good start. So SMILE!  Have a great day!
