Oops I did it again...

I'm not that innocent.
We know the results of our habitual actions.
But do you know actions are the results of your THINKING?

If you woke up today with anything less than gratitude, know, it's not too late to turn it around.

There is LIFE and then there is DEATH.
The quality of your experiences mean nothing to anyone else, but you.
That is also subjective.
You are here and then you are gone.
There is no time for haste.
There is no time for New Years resolutions, or waiting until the kids go back to school.

The habit gets stronger, the laundry never stops.
But your awareness can grow.
Problems don't matter if you have a solution.
Problems are also just thoughts.
The solution is a new thought.

The problem isn't that you can't stop drinking.
The problem is that you think alcohol is the solution.

For now, don't say NO to Alcohol, say YES, to what's on the other side of it.
Alone time listening to the rain.
An amazing morning.
A curious conversation.
A GREAT nights sleep.
A piece of cake.

We had a campout on our property that got rained out this weekend.
Everyone ended up inside making pizzas together, there were 13 of us and 2 kids.
There was a moment I paused and thought, if we were drinking right now, this would be a shit show.
There were lasting connections made, great food, the kids were safe, less mess, more gratitude, clear heads for a morning ritual at the river, no complaining, no problems.

Not everyone who was here is 100% alcohol free. But my property is.
There was a time and place when I would have thought that was a terrible idea, a dry campout?
The problem?
My thoughts.
The solution, my thoughts again.
Saying YES to a new relationship with my life not for anyone else but ME.
Guess what? Now everyone benefits.
