RE: Step 6

With arrogance gone, we would be one step closer to being restored to our proper place among others. We would become capable of appreciating their company and their wisdom and their challenges as their equals. Our support and guidance would come, if we chose, from the care offered us by our Higher Power; "low self-esteem" would cease to be an issue. ~Just for Today

Today I am grateful...
  • for yesterday's great meeting on Step 6
  • that dAAve and I got to meet Scott and chat in this beautiful weather
  • for the phone call to Alexis, to put a voice to her picture in my mind's eye
  • that tonight dAAve and I meet up with Scott and Alexis at her home group
  • to sit in the back yard with Mary as Bunny and Lucy have their play time. It's 59 degrees out there.
  • for "How It Works"
  • that today my demands for attention do not become unreasonable

In forgiving ourselves, we make the journey from guilt for what we have done (or not done) to celebration of what we have become. ~Joan Borysenko
