Miracles.... Lesson 2

So todays lesson ... "I have given that all the meaning it has for me." This is going to be one for me to remember on a daily basis.  I wrote it down on a 3x5 card and put it in my purse for future reference.  There are so many times that I think about things or give people, places and things way too much energy in my life that I choose to think about negatively.  "I have GIVE IT ALL THE MEANING it has for ME".  I can perceive it however I wish. 

I give the flowers beautiful meaning, I give the dirt beautiful meaning, I give that guy who just cut me off beautiful meaning, I give that person who continues to use drugs beautiful meaning.  I also have given all of the negative meaning it has for me as well.  I have given that insecure meaning it has for me, I have given that angry resentful feeling the meaning it has for me.

I have given the feeling of love the meaning it has for me!

"A Miracle", my first post!!!

I am a almost 40 year old female with 12 1/2 years in recovery.  I have seen alot, done alot and overcome alot.  However, I have a long way to go.  I was talking to a friend about feeling "stuck" and how to get past that feeling and he suggested "A Course In Miracles".  I will tell you that the idea to me at first when I got the book was confusing.  When I started reading the front of the book, it was ALOT! I didnt understand most of it, I got frustrated, had to re-read over and over so I put it down.  THEN... I decided to go straight to the lessons. Oh My Gosh......they are amazing.

The purpose of the Lessons are divided into 2 sections, the first undoing the way we see now and the second part possession of true perception.  It helps to train our mind to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world.

Although I did the lessons everyday religiously for about 47 days, I missed 3 or 4 days and quit.  So...... here I am.... to the world committing to start over and blog about my progress and share with you how my life changes from ACIM!!!
