Gratitude 2.0 -Road trip episode

First thought wrong was at Dr. Bob’s house….Lynn & Vikki had a tiff.  Backseat driving, meets rocking chairs. 

Visit to PA to hang and record with our favorite Donna.  

Donna shares how she had to learn gratitude at the beginning, that it was building a muscle given to her from great sponsorship. And continues to be a working part of her recovery.

Definition corner:  

Gratitude is a strong feeling of appreciation. 

Appreciation recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.  

Quotes 

1.  Gratitude helps you see what’s there instead of what isn’t
2. Be thankful for what you have, you’ll end up having more if you concentrate on what you don’t have you will never ever have enough.  Oprah Winfrey

Cause and effect of when you are grateful happiness come.  You aren’t grateful because you are happy it’s the other way around.  

First coming into recovery things are so skewed - like a funny mirror in a fun house at the carnival.  

Lastly having gratitude is not just for the moment you are in but how you view your past and how it sets the stage for how you review the future.
