Friday Chip---Aware of others/Self-centered
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are times when I spot defects of character in others,
but I am less apt to spot that same trait in myself. That
makes me more determined to be honest with myself and
make sure my side of the street is clean, before I complain
about the other side.
The world does not revolve around SunnyGirl and what she
thinks, says or does. With my family I am always aware of
their wants and needs and it makes me feel good to take care
of them. This is not saying I fail to take care of myself, just
that doing things for other people, makes me feel good about
myself.
Being aware of the needs of others and reaching out and extending
your hand in friendship, is what 12-step recovery is all about.
Sharing my experience, strength and hope…… If just one person
said to themselves, hey that might work in my life….. This is
the attitude that keeps us growing, sharing and helping those in
need.
Peace on the journey….. SunnyGirl
