We need A QUOTE FOR TODAY..

from A DAY AT A TIME..  TODAY'S READING.. 04/26 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY When I first came to the Program, I was stunned by the constant sound of laughter.  I realize today that cheerfulness and merriment are useful.  As the "Big Book" says, "Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into laughter over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past.  But why shouldn't we laugh?  We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others."  What greater cause could there be for rejoicing than this?  HAVE I BEGUN TO REGAIN MY SENSE OF HUMOR? TODAY I PRAY May God restore my sense of humor.  May I appreciate the honest laughter that is the background music of our mutual rejoicing in our sobriety.  May I laugh a lot, not the defensive ego-laugh which mocks another's weakness, not the wry laugh of the self-out-down, but the healthy laugh that keeps situations in perspective.  May I never regard this kind of laughter as irreverent.  I have learned, instead, that it is irreverent to take myself to seriously. TODAY I WILL REMEMBER A sense of humor is a sign of health. hugggsss
