My meditation reading yesterday talked about reality. The author, Karen Casey, writes:
Reality is not our bane but our gift. The particular reality perceived by any one of us is of special significance because in that reality are our lessons --the very lessons that will awaken us to the awareness that what life offers is just what we deserve, and more.
A friend of mine once told me that when an interaction occurs between two people there are three sides to the story:
- the first side is what one person says happened
- the second side is what the other person says happened
- and the third side is what really happened!
I am so thankful for this program! I finally have a way to deal with life that won’t kill me in the end!
The 12 step program of AA is awesome. I have not been through it, but have family that has. It has made such a difference in their life and those around them. So glad that you are in it and it is giving you hope. :-)
ReplyDeleteI too am so grateful for Al-Anon where I have learned to see reality without fear.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say hi. I deal with depression and am in recovery (42 days sober, still pretty new). Found your link through Steve's blog. I will send you an invite to read my blog if you want. Hugs!
