A happy person is not a person with a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."
--Hugh Downs, American Journalist
As my sponsor likes to say, fake it until you make it. So, if today you are not feeling positive and can't find gratitude and thus happiness in anything, even the smallest things; act like you can and have. Fake your happiness and joy while being grateful for something as simple as merely being alive for today was not necessarily a given and someone, somewhere did not have the luxury of waking up this morning. Fake it, until you make it and know that your Higher Power will be here with you through the process, as will I and other recovering addicts. You see, I cannot keep what I have unless I give it away in this game called life. So here's a hug and a smile. Pass it on!
