Really like this. It has been brought home to me lately, how much we look at what we don't have rather than what we do have.
Yes I have pain, I have daily pain, yet my God sees me through it each day without the use of heavy duty narcotics. For that I am very grateful. I have friends who just have the fibromyalgia who are on highly addictive medication. I have fibromyalgia many other things like my diabetes and associated diseases and osteoarthritis.
I may not have my own home, but then when I came into recovery, I was one step off of the streets. I am not capable and cleaning a big home and don't have the money to get someone to come and do it for me. Why should I wish for more, when more is the seed of addiction.
Each day, I always try to remember to say thank you, because I know, what I need is on the way.
