One Foot in Front of the Other

One Foot in Front of the Other

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. -St. Theresa's Prayer

I embrace a community of recovering people

All I need to do today is to put one foot in front of the other. I can only walk this walk a step at a time. Each time I take a step, I will trust that the next will follow, along with the next, and the next, and the next. What I know today is that no matter what does or does not come my way, I will wake up each morning to one more day of my spiritual journey-nothing more, nothing less. I will keep putting one foot in front of the other. Occasional leaps of faith and periods of unusual progress will no doubt happen as will slips and backslides. But no matter what comes along, I have the gift of recovery in my life, a gift that I can rely on, a gift that means that I never have to struggle alone again. I place my hand in the hand of my Higher Power and together we walk a path of recovery one step at a time.
