Intuit

Intuit
The next day my email harbored a series of disappointments, messes to clean up, and mind-numbingly boring tasks. I was torn between putting off that day’s work until the next day, or faking my own death.
I remembered the promise from the “Big Book” (Alcoholics Anonymous) that I’d know intuitively how to handle situations. It said nothing about how easy or difficult handling these situations would be.
“Find a reason to be grateful,” I said to myself, out loud. Despite all the booze, drunk driving, dicey situations, and my habit of antagonizing angry people with my drunken ‘wit,’ I came out of my addiction still able to think. I could still intuit solutions.

Today I will be grateful for situations I can handle, even if handling them is no fun.
