that I am what I am. If I were any different, I wouldn't be me. (huh?)
for the help that comes my way when I'm able to lower my defenses
for the story from the Big Book, titled "Acceptance Was the Answer." I know some of you have met and listened to the author of this story. Maybe I will have that privilege someday too. His story is chocked full of wisdom.
Here's a favorite quote ...
Here's a favorite quote ...
"For years I was sure the worst thing that could happen to a nice guy like me would be that I would turn out to be an alcoholic. Today I find it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. This proves I don't know what's good for me. And if I don't know what's good for me, then I don't know what's good or bad for you or for anyone. So I'm better off if I don't give advice, don't figure I know what's best, and just accept life on life's terms, as it is today."
that I have jury duty today
Laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.
Life's too short to be anything... but happy.

I would love jury duty today.
If you laugh a lot during jury selection, I bet you won't have to serve on a jury.
But seriously, I think serving on a jury is a great honor.
LOVE the entry today, CHOCK full of things I need to read/hear
Good Luck today - I enjoyed jury duty it was fascinating
I don't know if I'm better off having been subjected to the effects of alcoholism, but I am a better person today than I was years ago. That means something.
