Grateful to be okay

Lacking a specific subject for tonight's post, I will go with being happy that there are no crisis going on in my life and that I am doing okay. I have working on optimism this week. That has helped a lot. I am quite pleasantly surprised by how malleably my mind still is at 52. I have been able to get to a much more optimistic perspective with a few simple tools (and a preceding dozen years of dedicated self-improvement).

Tonight at my home group which is a step study meeting, I had the modest epiphany that doing step 3 could be construed as making a decision to be happier, worry less and let my HP fret the details. I used to know that things would never work out for me—and with that attitude, they never did work out well. Now I believe that things are and will be okay. It is a good feeling.

I am grateful for stable health, good friends and my new found optimism. I am a lucky guy!
