"I hope you are all succeeding in your journey back to health."
One habit that recovery demands is budgeting and buying necessities differently. During recovery, I tended towards buying things with a designated life time for replacement. With all the demands of recovery and very little money, this was the only way to meet the needs.
With clothes, I must budget to buy new clothes twice a year, one shopping session for summer clothes, one for winter clothes. I went to Khols this past weekend on a hunch. In a separate men's section, I saw a clearance rack loaded with very nice shirts and pants.
I found several items at 80% off. They were all the right size. Bottom line, I bought $600 dollars in new clothing for around $80 dollars. I never shopped this way until I had to as part of getting well. Quite an "eye opener."
I hope you look for and then find great joy in hidden opportunity like this. Our journey back to health can lead us to wonder in a realization of past behavior now replaced. The deep surrender does eventually shed light on how new behaviors bring us to live a more wiser way! Then we see clearly the little miracles happening in our lives.
Luke 10:23... Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see."
Godspeed,
peter
