Each day a new beginning they said.  

It has taken all my life and almost 27 years in recovery

for me to realize how simple this statement truly is.

Wake up and it's a new day

with new opportunity to do it right and learn

or do it wrong and repeat the process

over

Wake and it's a new day

with a new vision, 24 hours later than yesterday's 

trust me when I tell you this was a hard lesson to learn

and I am grateful

I love my life, I love my wife, I love myself.

I love my home, and I have the ability to do with it

what ever my heart and head desires;

no pressure, just one day at a time!

I am an able bodied, healthy woman at age 57 and then some.

Carrying extra weight is not my choice but that's another story,

each hour I take more steps and pay attention to what goes in my mouth.

I want to watch my grand-kids grow and become adults.

Every child deserves a grandmother who truly cares and takes the time

to know all aspects of them as human beings - with love. I do this.

Each day a new beginning; today is Thursday and it's very cold outside.
