Morning all,
Hi Skywalker, glad you made it through the week.
I have a nice weekend ahead. Mrs B's mother is visiting us. She is a very pleasant, interesting woman. She raised 6 children by herself. She is very wise and does not rush to judgements about others. She values family and friends over material things. She is also a non-drinker and a life time al-anon participant. I used to always feel anxious drinking around her, but she never made a comment nor communicated displeasure. Nor has she made a fuss of my current sobriety. She makes me feel accepted.
It's important for us to have people in our lives that we admire, characteristics that we aspire to. This can be even someone that you don't know, a famous person. Write down these characteristics and ask yourself: in what way am I aspiring towards them now and in what small ways can I work towards them even more?
B
