Rise and shine in the Glory of God loving us all.

What does a new day mean to you?

A new day is a chance to start fresh, but if we wake up with a mind burdened by disappointments or negativity from the previous day, we never truly see it as a new day in life.

Many people feel their lives are dull and uninteresting because they relive their past every day. When we don't let go of what's holding us back, we can't move forward. We become trapped in a cycle created by our own minds.

If you want to make the most of your life, approach each day with a fresh mindset. Take the lessons from yesterday, and live in the moment to make today meaningful and your future bright.

I am Irish. I do this. My Dad did this and I love being Irish.

🇮🇪 You know you’re Irish…

When a goodbye is never just one goodbye.

It’s at the door, the gate, the car - and halfway down the road. Some things never change.

In the beauty of early dawn the single tulip lights up my home so beautifully- she's her own garden sharing her beauty and I receive such beauty, grateful for eyes to see and an open heart.

NO ORDINARY SUCCESS STORY

A.A. is no success story in the ordinary sense of the word. It is a story of suffering transmuted, under grace, into spiritual progress.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 35

Upon entering A.A. I listened to others talk about the reality of their drinking: loneliness, terror and pain. As I listened further, I soon heard a description of a very different kind—the reality of sobriety. It is a reality of freedom and happiness, of purpose and direction, and of serenity and peace with God, ourselves and others. By attending meetings I am reintroduced to that reality, over and over. I see it in the eyes and hear it in the voices of those around me. By working the program I find the direction and strength with which to make it mine. The joy of A.A. is that this new reality is available to me.

THE CHALLENGE OF FAILURE

In God's economy, nothing is wasted. Through failure, we learn a lesson in humility which is probably needed, painful though it is.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 31

How thankful I am today, to know that all my past failures were necessary for me to be where I am now. Through much pain came experience and, in suffering, I became obedient. When I sought God, as I understand Him, He shared His treasured gifts. Through experience and obedience, growth started, followed by gratitude. Yes, then came peace of mind—living in and sharing sobriety.

MYSTERIOUS PARADOXES

Such is the paradox of A.A. regeneration: strength arising out of complete defeat and weakness, the loss of one's old life as a condition for finding a new one.
A.A. COMES OF AGE, p. 46

What glorious mysteries paradoxes are! They do not compute, yet when recognized and accepted, they reaffirm something in the universe beyond human logic. When I face a fear, I am given courage; when I support a brother or sister, my capacity to love myself is increased; when I accept pain as part of the growing experience of life, I realize a greater happiness; when I look at my dark side, I am brought into new light; when I accept my vulnerabilities and surrender to a Higher Power, I am graced with unforeseen strength. I stumbled through the doors of A.A. in disgrace, expecting nothing from life, and I have been given hope and dignity. Miraculously, the only way to keep the gifts of the program is to pass them on.
