"The sun doesn’t apologize for shining, neither should you” – Bradd Easton
Ok, today's recovery inspiration is a little self-indulgent. But several friends have found this helpful over the years. I hope you will too.

"The purpose of our lives is to be happy" - Dalai Lama
The first Recovery Inspiration for 2015!
Most days we get preoccupied with things on our to-do lists, or thinking and planning for the future, or ruminating on the past. We often forget that life, at its core is fairly simple. To start off the year right, remember how simple life can be. Happiness is a state of mind that doesn't depend on outside circumstances.
