A one dollar bill met a 20 dollar bill and said,
"Hey, where've you been?
I haven't seen you around here much."
The twenty answered, "I've been hanging out at the casinos,
went on a cruise and did the rounds of the ship,
back to the  United States for a while,
went to a couple of baseball  games,
to the mall, that kind of stuff.
How about you?"
The one dollar bill said, "You know, same old stuff,
meetings, meetings, meetings."

My Higher Power

When I think of My Higher Power, I think The Great One.
Higher Power stands for something greater than my self and
It is my belief that it is greater than all of mankind.
When I came into recovery, I did not have any sense of a Higher Power,
Or any connection with a God of my understanding.
 For so long, I had searched for answers and reasoning behind all of life's chapters.
 But, I was so lost I never realized that the answers were right there within arms reach.
All of those answer lie within
 
My Higher Power
Not only gives me answers, reasoning, truth, and faith,
He holds me accountable, defines right from wrong, and shows me the light.
 My conscience is my direct connection to My Higher Power.
It is his way of speaking directly to me using his still small voice.
 
My Higher Power
Takes all of my pain, sorrow, worries, and dilemmas and
Makes it possible for me to persevere through life,
 On life's terms, no matter what I may face while here on Earth.
 He never gives me more than I can handle, no matter how difficult it may seem at the time.
He has reasoning behind everything that happens
Even if I am unable to understand it.  
 
My Higher Power
Works in mysterious ways but never gives up.
He doesn't pick and choose the times that he cares.
He doesn't condemn me when I make mistakes.
And He never abandons me especially, during a time of need.
 
My Higher Power
Is my strength when I don't feel strong,
My voice when I can't find the words,
My empathy when I don't know how to care,  
And My rock when I don't feel grounded.
 He is my ultimate security.
For once in my life, I have finally found the answers to all of life's chapters,
And that answer is and always will be,
 
My Higher Power.
And I will be forever certain that no matter what path I travel,
Choices I make, battles I fight, at any given moment,
Any time of day, no matter where I may be,
 
My Higher Power
Is there with me,
He is that still small voice always whispering to me.

Just For Today
May 21                            Keep Coming Back!

"Meetings keep us in touch with where we've been,
but more importantly with where we could go in our recovery."
Basic Text Page-54

In many ways, addicts are different. When we came to Narcotics
Anonymous we found others like ourselves, people who understood 
us and whom we could understand. No longer did we feel like aliens,
strangers wherever we went. We were at home in NA meetings,
among friends.

We don't stop being addicts after we've been clean awhile. We still
need to identify with other addicts. We continue coming to NA 
meetings to keep in touch with who we are, where we've come from, 
and where we're going. Every meeting reminds us that we can never 
use drugs successfully. Every meeting reminds us that we'll never be 
cured, but that by practicing the principles of the program we can 
recover. And every meeting offers us the experience and example 
of other addicts in ongoing recovery.

At meetings, we see how different people work their program, and the
results are apparent in their lives. If we want the lives we see others
living, we can find out what they've done to get where they are. 
Narcotics Anonymous meetings offer us identification with where 
we've been and where we can go-identification we can't do without 
and can't get anywhere else. That keeps us coming back.

Just for today: I will attend an NA meeting to remind myself of who
I am, where I've come from, and where I can go in my recovery.

Free At Last

Another great dividend we may expect from confiding our defects to 
another human being is humility -- a word often misunderstood  .  .  .  
it amounts to a clear recognition of what and who we really are, 
followed by a sincere attempt to become what we could be.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p.  58

I knew deep inside that if I were ever to be joyous, happy and free, I 
had to share my past life with some other individual.  The joy and 
relief I experienced after doing so were beyond description.  Almost 
immediately after taking the Fifth Step, I felt free from the bondage of 
self and the bondage of alcohol.  That freedom remains after 36 years, 
a day at a time.  I found that God could do for me what I couldn't do 
for myself.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ May 21st

A.A. Thought for the Day

One of the finest things about A.A. is the sharing. Sharing
is a wonderful thing because the more you share the more
you have. in our old drinking days, we didn't do much sharing.
We used to keep things to ourselves, partly because we
were ashamed, but mostly because we were selfish. And we
were very lonely because we didn't share. When we came
into A.A., the first thing we found was sharing. We heard
other alcoholics frankly sharing their experiences with
hospitals, jails, and all the usual mess that goes with drinking.
Am I sharing.?

Meditation for the Day

Character is developed by the daily discipline of du- ties
done. Be obedient to the heavenly vision and take the straight
way. Do not fall into the error of calling "Lord, Lord," and
doing not the things that should be done. You need a life
of prayer and meditation, but you must still do your work
in the busy ways of life. The busy person is wise to rest and
wait patiently for God's guidance. If you are obedient to the
heavenly vision, you can be at peace.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may be obedient to the heavenly vision. I pray
if I fall, I will pick myself up and go on.

Today's Thought
MAY 21

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go.
Melody Beattie ©

Getting Needs Met

I want to change careers. . . . I need a friend. . . .I'm ready to be in 
a relationship. . . .

Regularly, we become aware of new needs. We may need to 
change our behavior with our children. We may need a new
couch, love and nurturing, a dollar, or help.

Do not be afraid to recognize a want or need. The birth of a 
want or need, the temporary frustration from acknowledging a 
need before it's met, is the start of the cycle of receiving what 
we want. We follow this by letting go, then receiving that which 
we want and need. Identifying our needs is preparation for 
good things to come.

Acknowledging our needs means we are being prepared and 
drawn to that which will meet them. We can have faith to stand 
in that place in between.

Today, I will let go of my belief that my needs never get met. I will
acknowledge my wants and needs, then turn them over to my 
Higher Power. My Higher Power cares, sometimes about the 
silliest little things, if I do. My wants and needs are not an accident. 
God created me and all my desires.

Emotional Elbows
by Barbara J. Semple

My thoughts and feelings have a lot to do with how I do or don't love myself. Imagine learning to love every part of your Self, the good stuff and the "bad." It has been a big project for me.

Some years ago, a wise teacher told me a story about the importance of healing my emotions. He said I could not know God any other way than through my feelings. I could only know God through my heart: a higher pathway of my heart that could only be reached by feeling and healing my feelings. My teacher said emotional balance was key to knowing the higher levels of my Self.

My teacher went on to say that in the past I had judged many of my feelings as being harmful, "bad," and shameful. Every one of those feelings I had pushed away from myself, or denied, suppressed or judged to be bad, or someone else had judged to be bad for me, were pieces of my emotional self which I needed to love and heal. He gave this analogy.

He said if I fall down and severely cut my elbow so blood and bone are exposed, my immediate, innate response is to pull my elbow into myself and do whatever it takes to bring my elbow back to full health and usefulness. I might even kiss it. I will surely hold it tightly into myself to support it and stop the bleeding until I get more help for myself. I will baby my healing elbow, protect it from bumps, and keep it clean. I will nurture it back to full and useful health because I need my elbow.

It is necessary I do the same for my emotional health: nurture it back to full usefulness. I need emotional balance even more than I need my real elbow. Healthy emotions are a doorway to a sensitive awareness of things, which are not physical or cannot be seen with physical eyes.

My teacher went on to say each of those emotions I had pushed away from myself, judged as bad, were "boo boos" or injuries to myself that needed to be brought back into myself for my wholeness. I needed to draw back into myself my "emotional elbows" and love each of them into wholeness. I needed to be healthy emotionally to let my feelings and emotions rise to a higher level of awareness in order to know God.

I can see how me loving the parts of myself I judge as ugly might have something to do with me bringing back to wholeness whatever parts of me want to continue to "attack myself" as in an auto-immune disease. I expect it is the same for any disease: cancer, AIDS, diabetes, heart disease. I also know that my body is the densest part of myself and I will probably have to reinforce self-love and healing my emotional elbows many times over the years of my life to have a physical impact. Or, will I?

I have plenty of chances every day with the TV news, magazines and papers, social situations and my daily interactions with people to catch myself in judgment about something or someone. Then I get to say "I love the part of myself that is judging that behavior or feeling as bad."

I know loving what I or someone else may perceive as bad or ugly feelings and judgments about others and myself is a big stretch. When I first started doing the "I love the part of myself that is icky"' dialog, which I do in private with my personal inner voice, it was difficult and didn't feel like anything was happening. I guess it might be similar to the alcoholic saying "no" to that first drink after she chooses sobriety: It sounds foreign, feels like the hardest thing to do, and, it gets easier the more I choose to love my "emotional elbows."

In summary, "emotional elbows" are those parts of myself or another which I judge as ugly, shameful, bad in any way, and which I push away or stuff somewhere or deny myself as feeling.

Kissing my "emotional elbow boo boos," drawing them back into myself with love with an intention for health, instead of denying them, brings my emotional self into greater wholeness. Starting with myself, healing my own emotional elbows, my perceived "bad" parts, makes it easier for me to feel compassion for others.
Loving Myself Or Beating Myself Up

The whole idea of loving my "emotional elbows" back into wholeness has been very helpful to me. Once I was watching a program about grizzly bears on the Discovery Channel. I noticed how completely attentive and caring Mother Bear was with her babies. It was her job to give them the best training and opportunities to grow to full size just like her. She never beats her kids, or yells at them. She always gives her cubs just enough space to get themselves into little troubles so they can learn. She always stands between her cubs and harm. She will kill anyone who threatens the well being of her children.

I feel great wisdom from Mother Bear. I imagine if she could talk, Mother Bear would say: "There is nothing you can say or do that would make me love you any less. How can you learn if you do not make mistakes? You are learning what it means to be you, your Whole, True Self. There are no failures. I love all parts of you."

She enjoys Zen painting, and is also the author of Personal Power Cards, flashcards for emotional wellness. Barbara spent 20 years working in corporate and marketing communications until switching her focus to the holistic healing arts. 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*One Day At A Time*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Wooden Bowl

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his steps faltered.

The family ate together at the table - but the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about Grandfather," said the son.

"I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."

So, the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. Their grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.

Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowel. When the family glanced in grandfather's direction, sometimes they saw a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions, when he dropped a fork or spilled milk.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. Then; one evening after supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked his child sweetly, "What are you making?"

Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mamma to eat your food on when I grow up."

The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents that they were speechless.

No words were spoken, but tears streamed down their cheeks and both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days, he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Children are unusually perceptive. Their eyes observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. Remember the saying, "Children are like sponges, they absorb everything and anything that is put is front of them."

Finding Seashells

Finding love for your life
is a lot like coming upon small
treasures on the beach
You walk in a sacred place
with the sound of life's ebb and flow
in your ears
with the view of expansive horizons
in your eyes
with the warmth of millions of sand grains
as there are stars in the sky
under your naked feeling feet
with the breeze of an oceanic paradise
caressing your face
tossing your hair freely about

Suddenly in front of you appears
colour
form
substance
beauty

such as you've never experienced before
you come closer
you look deeper
you listen more intently to whispers
as the whole sea reverberates from the shell
into your life
and all you want to do
is bring it home with you

Love

A Vision For You
from Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, page 67

Abandon yourself to God as you understand God.
Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows.
Clear away the wreckage of your past.
Give freely of what you find and join us.
We shall be with you in the fellowship of the spirit,
and you will surely meet some of us
as you trudge the road of happy destiny.
May God bless you and keep you - until then.

Who Will Win

Who will win
Who will lose
It is not up to us
To judge or choose
Everyone has a chance
Each one is different you see
No matter what we believe
Everyone has a right to be free
We are to offer a helping hand
Or an ear to understand
We must give it away
If we plan to stay
Who will lose
Who will win
On our knees 
Is where we begin
Offer a hand or ride
Show the new comer
We do not hide
If your serious 
You will see
We are all the same
We all want to be free
Love is where it is at today
To keep it you must
Give it away

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Live And Let Live*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The gift of integrity
knowing that I'm worthy
wanted
that others believe
I can contribute
that I'm deserving
of their trust
knowing in my heart
I have earned that trust
God, what a feeling of gratitude!
For though I demonstrate integrity
it is only a gift
I'm only a vessel
just glad to be chosen
to be used
a definition of integrity
is: containing all parts or steps; whole
think about that
isn't integrity a great goal?
all the parts fitting in harmony
all the steps working in time
and because of this wonderful dance
I am whole.
and the greatest gift of all of this
is the resultant chance to help others
attain this beauty in their lives as well.
For that I am truly thankful
and willing to continue on this path.

with love,
