Good feelings can become a habitual part of our life. There is absolutely no virtue in the unnecessary suffering, which many of us have felt for much of our life. We don't have to allow others to make us miserable, and we don't have to make ourselves miserable. A good day does not have to be the calm before the storm. That's an old way of thinking we learned in dysfunctional systems. In recovery, a good day or a good feeling doesn't mean we're in denial. We don't have to wreck our good times by obsessively searching for or creating a problem. Enjoying our good days doesn't mean we're being disloyal to loved ones who are having problems. We don't have to make ourselves feel guilty because other people aren't having a good day. We don't have to make ourselves miserable to be like them. They can have their day and their feelings; we can have ours. A good feeling is to be enjoyed. More than we can imagine, good days are ours for the asking. Today, I will let myself enjoy what is good. I don't have to wreck my good day or good feeling; I don't have to let others spoil it either.

I begin to enjoy everyday life, just have fun. yesterday, my swimming coach told me :" you could come early to practise your skills" I just smile and say nothing. I come to swimming just for fun last year, because i decide to develop myself every area during recovery------ my time is full, apart from work, swimming, yoga, taichi, music, public speaking, meditation... Now I reduced and just do whatever I enjoy most. I come from background of hardworking culture---even sport, music, they made this complusive, as a tool to display advantage in life. It's first time, I just enjoy life , be myself, go nowhere....
