Thought for Today ~ Searching Out The Good ~ 11/05/15


There is some good in even the darkest troubles that happen to me.

I can acquire that knack of searching out the good, and concentrating

on it. Much depends on meeting my problems head on, calmly

estimating their real character, refusing to exaggerate them and then

drowning them out with an inspiring thought. 

"Painful experiences come from the thorns that wound us; they make us

forget they also have roses. Yet we cannot expect to enjoy life's color,

beauty and fragrance, without accepting the thorny challenges and learning

how to deal with them, as we do in Al-Anon."

Wishing everyone a day filled with the scent of roses.

Thanks Debb for the daily and the ESH. I'm looking for the rosey scent of life this morning - up earlier than desired but ready to do my routine to make it a great day!

One of the many gifts of this program was the opportunity to change my outlook on events. When I am sad or dealing with discomfort, I am grateful to know that it will pass, and there's a lesson for me that matters if I am open to seeing or receiving it.

It seems so much of how I am or how I think I am has to do with my attitude. If I can stay focused and centered on my next best steps, and remember that I'm loved and worthy of happiness, peace and serenity from HP, it is all good. I work each day to seek out that which is good vs. that which appears not so good.

I do not like the thorny challenges, but I can accept them. Have a marvelous day and back @ ya for a rosey one!

(((Hugs)))
