The Choices We Make

So here is the obligatory 2008 election post. Don't worry, I am not going to get political, or tell you who I am voting for :^) on tuesday.


According to the Oxford American Dictionary, the definition of the word VOTE is: a formal indication of a choice between two or more candidates or courses of action, expressed typically through a ballot or a show of hands or by voice.

This definition got me thinking about recovery, life and the choices we make. We have all made choices in the past that brought us to where we are today.

If you are struggling due to choices you have made, please remember that every passing moment you can begin to make choices that will lead you towards a better place. Sometimes that place is a place of peace, courage, and acceptance of what is and hope about what can be.

If you are struggling today. start by making the choice to ask and accept help.

If you are on the road to recovery, make the formal commitment to continue to make the choices that will keep you on the path to a happy, healthy, life.

May this coming election day be a reminder of the choices/possibilities available to you.

peace, hope and love,

Lily
