The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

~George Washington Burnap

A wise old man who had survived years of abuse and hard labor in a Nazi concentration camp and lost several loved ones to the gas chambers was asked how he could live without getting depressed. He answered that it was because he had a purpose in his life.

We are rebuilding our lives after the devastation of codependency and addiction. The promises of this recovery program tell us that we will experience the restoration of meaning and purpose, and we will feel like full-fledged human beings again. Now we are finding those promises coming true every day. There is always plenty to be depressed about. However, we have something to do, we have the love of others, and we have hope for our future.

Today, my gratitude and purpose carry me along with plenty to be happy about.

Today's reading is from the book Stepping Stones: More Daily Meditations for Men*
