I was feeling sorry for myself today. I feel like my life has been wasted. It has had no meaning. My A is in bed sick asleep all day. I found this poem that helped me feel better. I thought my alanon family might benefit from it as well. I have no one in my real life outside my f2f meetings to talk to when I am mad at her. Well besides my HP. Ironically My A has it posted one the wall, I gave it to her this week. Here it is I hope it helps someone else..................

Love who you are.............

not who you think

you should be. Not

who you used to be

or could have been.

Not who you would

be if only you were taller,

slimmer, richer, or

luckier. That person

doesn't exsist, but you do!

And why wish you were

someone special - or work

toward it - when you're

already special right now,

today! And nothing - not time,

money or luck- can take that

specialness away!
