though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though
everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
I recieved this quote in an email from my sponsor yesterday. You know, just the very existance of this program and the fact that my HP drug me here kicking and screaming is a miracle.
My life is so far from perfect, but I have much to be thankful for.
I could focus on the fact that I am still seperated from my wife, whom I love. I could focus on what she says and does to shame or guilt me into moving my boundries to suit her. I could go over and over in my head all the ways in the past that I feel I have been wronged or mistreated by all this, but would I be alert enough to see the miracles?
Before I came here, I had forgotten how to see the miracle in all that's around me. I have no intention of loosing that again. And it takes practice. For me seeing the miracles means I have to actively look for them. They are everywhere like the leaves on the trees, but if I do look up during my walks, I don't see them either.
I hope everyone has a day full of miracles.
Take care of you!
