The following are quotes, and short
poems that have helped me on my journey
through recovery!

Accept yourself. Your Maker took
delight in the mere idea of you
before you even existed.
-Lisa Engelhardt

"The greatest gift my Higher Power gave me
came on the day I looked up to "heaven"
and told God, "I don't believe in You!" And
that still, quiet voice inside of me asked,
"Then to Whom are you speaking?"

Justice may right the wrongs but
forgiveness heals the hurt. Seek
forgiveness beyond justice.
-David W. Schell

Salvage Theory

On bad days, instead of taking the attitude
that you may as well give up because you've
already blown half the day, learn to cut your
losses short and salvage what's left of the
day. Anyone can do well on good days; only
successful people make headway on the bad ones.

God Can Make A Way

When disappointment fills your heart
And doubt invades your mind,
Count your many blessings
And hopefully, you'll find...
That even when your heart aches,
God's hand is on your life;
He walks with you in good times,
He carries you through strife.
I know this time is trying
And I'll pray for you today,
But I hope you will remember
That God can make a way.
-Jill Lemming

O Lord, I'm not what I ought to be,
And I'm not what I want to be,
And I'm not what I'm going to be,
But O Lord, I thank you that I'm
not what I used to be.

Each day is a new beginning-
another chance
to learn more about ourselves,
to care more about others,
to laugh more than we did,
to accomplish more
than we thought we could,
to be more
than we were before.
-Author Unknown

The instant you're willing to change,
you have already changed.

I can get the right answer,
but my mind can modify it.

My actions create what
I think I'm afraid of.

Your body is a masterpiece, intricate
in function, unique in its mix of
attributes and abilities. Are you
honoring its potential? Are you
listening to its wisdom?
-Lisa Engelhardt

Have a good day, unless
you've made other plans!
