Appreciate The Good Things You Have

Sometimes we need lessons in gratitude. One day I had allowed myself to become upset because the cruise control on my new car was not functioning. That day a young woman in early recovery reported things were going better for her now that she was sober. She had found an apartment and soon she might have enough money to repair her car. But I must remember some people don't even have a car, she said. I became much more appreciative of my new car, which had everything except cruise control. We should learn how to appreciate the things we have.
