Thought for Today ~ Changing ~ 11/03/15
Permalink  

Listing the good and bad elements in my situation will give me new insight.

I will begin correcting my problems by changing myself. I will never try to

compel someone else to change, for that would help neither of us. 

"Knowing that only complete honesty will bring me to self-understanding,

I pray that my Higher Power will help me guard against deceiving myself."

{{HUGS}} To everyone for an honest to goodness great day!

Debb - thanks for the daily - what a great reminder for me that I get out of this program what I am willing to give to it. If I am not completely honest, I will have voids in my peace and relapses in my thinking, actions and reactions....I've had to PAUSE more than once on this journey and try to truly figure out what is bothering me about a situation, event, person, etc.

Most times, I am able to find a part of me in the mix, and then ask for grace to change me. I'm still focusing on the 'Bless Them, Change Me' for this week too.

(((Hugs))) for a great Tuesday!
