Cleaning House

[caressa]

December 31

"There is one job that we can do superlatively well, and there isn't anything that can keep us from doing it if we are serious in wanting to. That is the job we do on ourselves, inside ourselves. It means clearing out a whole mess of false values, unrealistic ambitions, and worn-out resentments, and putting in their place the qualities we want to have - kindness, tolerance, friendliness ... We can begin to see what the real values of life are, and they are very different from the hazy, distorted dreams we had."


New York, N.Y., August 1948
From: "Those Depressions-Make Them Work for Good!"
Best of Grapevine, Volume 1

This made me think of the saying, ``We only get out of it what we put into it,`` and ``What goes around, comes around.``

I can be my own best friend or my own worst enemy.

All the best to you on your recovery road in 2013. Hope you will share your journey with us.

Recovery is an inside job.
