Gratitude and Perspective

There is a flow to life, and the flow is much easier to capture, ride, and enjoy when we look at things from a perspective of gratitude.

Reflection

 

I was about three months sober when I was first introduced to “Gratitude Month” in the rooms of the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meetings I was attending.

I was about as low and self-defeated as I’ve ever been when I walked into the AA rooms during my first round of Gratitude Month.

It was in those rooms where I realized I had a choice on whether I looked at things from a positive perspective or a negative perspective.

It was in those rooms where I was told I had a choice on whether or not I had a grateful heart or a bitter heart.

It was in those rooms where I first heard that my gratitude was not dependent upon people, places, and things.

I could go on and on.


Today I am grateful for the perspective change that Alcoholics Anonymous gave me…I most likely would not be alive today.

Psalm 136:1, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”
