A man needs self-acceptance or he can't live with himself; he needs self-criticism or others can't live with him.
~James A. Pike
Today I am grateful that in recovery I am learning:
~ about myself
~ how to detach with love
~ about acceptance
~ how to apply the 12 Steps to all areas of my life
~ how to love and accept myself
~ how to forget myself in order to serve others without expecting anything in return
~ for giving me a direct path to God
I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. ~Isaac Newton
Being grateful is an awesome feeling! Hope you have a relaxing and restful weekend.....
ReplyDeleteLove that quote. There is still much to discover within.
ReplyDeleteGratitude...hopefully rhymes with Attitude.
ReplyDeleteYou choose your quotes WELL, Marie, and I am going through your week of gratefulness with you. Amazing how much we become thankful for, when we can finally SEE what God has done/is doing for us.
We ARE on the same pages, girl!
