~SPIRITUAL~ A DAY AT A TIME
02-05 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
If I am troubled, worried, exasperated or frustrated, do I tend to rationalize the situation and lay the blame on someone else? When I am in such a state, is my conversation punctuated with, "HE did..," "SHE said..," "THEY did..,"? Or can I honestly admit that perhaps I'm at fault. My peace of mind depends on overcoming my negative attitudes and tendency toward rationalization. WILL I TRY , DAY BE DAY, TO BE RIGOROUSLY HONEST WITH MYSELF?
TODAY I PRAY
May I catch myself as I talk in the third person, "He did..." or "They promised.." or "She said she would.." and listen for the blaming that has become such a pattern for me and preserves delusion. May I do a turnabout and face myself instead.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Honesty is the ONLY policy.
Personal request.. a dear friend of mine is struggling with her own emotions as her son struggles with his addiction. If anyone.. everyone.. can keep them in your thoughts right now, I would appreciate it. Her name is Kim. I think I have her convinced to go to an Alanon meeting and I will go with her. Keep her in thoughts that she will go please!!
Thank YOU
