Match 26
Good morning,
Trying to be perfect all of the time creates cracks in my relationship with my HP. In the recent past I had the experience of being imperfect and having to set with my humanness. I can see that trying to be perfect all of the time creates shame around myself and keeps my relationship with my HP at a distance. During the time I had to set with not being perfect I had to pray often and hard, asking for help to relieve the shame I felt. I prayed for acceptance and understanding. Sitting here this morning I understand that making mistakes is human, and I am just that, human. I am thankful that I remain teachable after all of these years of being sober. I continue to be willing to learn and set with myself and be humble when I make mistakes. I am thankful for the forgiveness of myself and others. I am grateful for having a day to catch up on some much needed household chores. It is first things first and one day at a time for this imperfect human being that I am. Today I can accept and move forward not regretting the past, but instead learning from it. Today let’s let go and let God guide us on this journey of life. Love Me

Good Morning,
Father Bill W recommends only taking Step 3 once: a vow of sorts: asking Jesus to help me and surrendering. I took my marriage vow once and in the same regard I take my vow to my God only once, entering into a journey with my God of my understanding.
This is a gift of willingness and humility. I know I needed help and still do; I can’t stay sober by myself. I need help and you!
This Two Way Prayer interpretation of Step 3 is simple for us complicated people. I am thankful for the simplicity of my AA program; it is only complicated if I make that way.
This morning I am feeling better after a better night’s sleep, which I needed badly.
I am blessed to have this life today and I do not to take it for granted. I am feeling pretty thankful that I am going to see some of my family next week without having to travel a thousand miles. Next week will come fast enough, and it is important for me to live in today, taking life one day at a time; that is my decision for today. Have a blessed day.

Good morning ,
People are just people. We are not perfect beings and everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are not intentional. It is my job to have compassion, understanding and not to judge. At times that is tough to live up to, but I can do it one day at a time.
It is going to be another busy day, but so I am up for the challenge. By God’s grace everyday is a new chance to be a woman of dignity and honor. For that I am blessed. Yesterday was a harder day than others, and we accomplished a lot at work even though it seemed that there wasn’t enough time. Today I can realize progress, knowing perfection isn’t my objective today. I do the best I can and move forward.
I am thankful for the good people I work with.
I am thankful for plans next week to spend time with my family. I am always thankful when someone comes for a visit.
Well I think I will be quiet for a bit before getting ready for work.
Have a blessed Good Friday.
Love Me
