I wanted to share a fun discovery that some of you might appreciate.
My phone has that predictive spelling feature, where after you type in a word it suggests the next word you could enter. Earlier today I typed the words "You are not ..." and my very smart phone suggested as the next word, "alone." "You are not alone."
Now, I know it's just technology, but it really made me remember one of the most important things I've gotten out of Alanon. I learned that I was not alone. There were others out there who knew more than I did. They could see the next word coming, because they had been down the path before me and learned some things (a lot of things!) I had yet to learn. And this knowledge -- experience, strength, hope -- was out there, just waiting for me to seek it out.
I've only had this new phone for a few weeks. How did it get so smart, so fast?
Great share freetime - I am one who thinks my smart phone is smarter than I most of the time!!! Make it a great day!!
