A nice reminder, what we put out we get back. It is even nicer to have someone affirm that you are alright. I get defeated sometimes, but I know if I keep to basics, everything will work out.
Was having a chuckle with my friend John tonight, we were talking about how several people can look at the same picture and get different messages. It doesn't make us right or wrong, it is our own reality, which often needs to be changed or up graded. I try to pray and ask my God for my truth and knowing in today, and if something seems off, then I have to look at what I am not doing or what am I doing wrong. My whole life since coming into recovery has been Tradition 3 & 5. When you aren't working, not in a relationship, and like me, not able to get out to meetings very often, then my life has been focused on service. The best way to get out of self is to help someone else. Even if I share and some people don't identify, it does help me and my recovery.

Today before dinner, when I was talking to my son and he was grumpy and I said, "I feel Grrrrr too! I went right up into his face and said, "Grrrrrr!" He said, "You are so funny Mom." It did me good to express my feelings, especially to do it in a humorous way.
