Life Is For Living


Life is for Living
by Author Unknown

Life is a gift we're given each and every day.
Dream about tomorrow, but live for today.
To live a little, you've got to love a whole lot.
Love turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Life's a journey always worth taking.
Take time to smell the roses... and tulips...
and daffodils... and lilacs... and sunflowers...

Count blessings like children count stars.
The secret of a happy life isn't buried in a treasure chest...
it lies within your heart.
It's the little moments that make life big.

Don't wait.
Make memories today.
Celebrate your life!

When I waslked through the doors of AA I was given a choice for the first time I can remember to live life. I try everyway but the AA way and I only got glimpses of what life could be like. When I finally made the descion to live life it came with hurt, pain, shame, tugh times, struggles and many more of the things I'd experienced all my years. Than I learned it came with some things I knew nthing or very little about and those things made me come back today and I pray everday. Those things are love, joy, freedom, serenity, peace, humility, sharing and many more.......Today I choose to live life to the fullest because I see it as a gift from a power greater than myself. Thanks to all of you for showing me the path to life.
