I got to sit in with a group of people today, all sharing their gratitude. What a treat to be with people openly sharing those things which give their lives meaning, from the seemingly insignificant to the grand.
It wasn’t a special event, or even one focused on Thanksgiving. It was a normal Saturday 12-Step meeting, filled with folks who have learned to stop fighting anything and everything, and simply relax into being their best, genuine selves. It’s an honor to be among such people—those who cheer each other on for victories large and small, and who encourage others who may need a dose of strength.
It was truly a wonder in my life to find myself in their midst. I have been able to find my bearings again and again, whenever I feel like I’ve strayed from who I am meant to be. I get lost sometimes, but they are always available for me to talk to, to get me back on track. I have been honored to find myself on the other side of that equation as well, reminding others of the strength they have access to.
It’s a daily thing, this learning to be my best, truest self.
I am truly grateful for this community of many different sorts of people, all working together for a common goal, one day at a time.
