Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you are about to react harshly and you will avoid doing and saying things you will later regret. Lori Deschene.
So powerful. I can tell myself one simple word.....pause. Each time I read these posts I find something new, something that hits home.
Can someone tell where this orginates?

Thank you for posting that lovely quote. It inspires me to take calming breaths even as I just read it. Imagine if I used it the way I do the Serenity Prayer an recited it in my head before taking action. It's definitely a keeper!
I agree about new revelations when reading posts. For me... that's my higher power communicating with me through others.
Thank you for this wonderful share! TT

It's in my signature.....has been for a long while! I don't know the origin but pausing has been a go-to tool for me each and every day in recovery that was not part of me before!

((Iamhere)) I only see signatures when I am not on the mobile site. I thank you for having that signature. I'm sure it has touched other as it has me. I remind myself to pause often. Not only as it statest...but also pause to regroup...get focused on where I am going.

It's so funny you mention that - I did not realize until recently that most web-sites show differently on a computer vs. on a phone. There's a ton of good signatures here - worth the visits to see them!!!
