“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy
Day 255 AF.
Last week I ended my post by writing, "In service to myself and my sobriety, I must remember to guard against the two thieves of my now .... past and future!", about not letting past regrets and future worries steal the "now".
-----------------------------------------------------
Today, I spent the day walking a bridge, passing from one shore to another. The bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. Today.
Today, I climbed a mountain. Today, I sat by a waterfall. Today, I was immersed in nature. Today, I traveled routine roads and witnessed familiar landmarks with new perspectives.
Today, I am grateful. Grateful for the beauty of nature, the awe of being. Grateful for my ability to engage in the exploration of the world, both without and within, exercising my body, mind, and spirit.
Today, I am grateful for my sobriety, for both my own efforts and the support of everyone in my circle!
Today, I am sober!
{Let me leave a few photographs from my adventures in nature today. I climbed Saddle Mountain in Clatsop County, OR., and sat by Fishhawk Falls. Much of my trail time was mindfully spent. The drive was enjoyed with calming music. And I got pizza to celebrate the day.}
If my writings in this photography project can benefit anyone in their recovery, I am proud to be of service!
Staying mindful and strong!
