From today's devotional in my Keep It Simple: Daily Meditations for 12 Step Beginnings and Renewal (Hazelden) -
" 'Beauty is a gift of God.' - Aristotle
In our addiction, we often went after what was ugly in life. ... The worst part of addiction is how it didn't let us see the beauty in the world.
There is so much beauty in each of us. Recovery is beautiful. Our stories are beautiful. The way we help each other is beautiful. But sometimes, we may still see the world as ugly.
At these times, we need to turn to our program. Maybe we need to help someone by working Step 12. Maybe we need to ask to give the Step at our meeting. Maybe we just need to read the BB. Whatever we do, one thing is sure- if we turn to our program, we will see how beautiful the world is.'
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, help me see beauty today. Help me be beautiful today.
Action for the Day: Today, I'll let myself feel beautiful. I'll see recovery as beautiful.' "
This really spoke to me today - it is like one of my favorite Bible verses: "Anyone can find the dirt in someone. Be the one that finds the gold." - Proverbs 11:27
Have a beautiful Friday, all!

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.
