This morning is June 19th. Juneteenth. In two days it will officially be summer. So why did I wake up to sleet?!?

Weather, life and recovery are filled with mystery and adventure. The dilemma is what to do with them. I am driving through the mountains today, so precipitation of any kind is not awesome. Sleet is even less awesome. However, I am still excited at all of the opportunities that it will present; no hot sun beating in through the windows; perhaps some snow; maybe even a rainbow!

I don’t think that life is what you make it. More like, it’s what you take from it. When I go to the store I get the stuff I need and want, and leave the rest behind. Candy bar? Goood! Cereal? Goood! Soda? Really goooood! Preparation H? No thanks, but if I need it, I know where to go. (I am dictating this to my wife as I drive, and she suggested “butt”. She is brilliant. I laughed for over a minute.)

Your recovery will present you with all those options and more. Shop wisely and…

—RiseUp!!
