“QUOTES”
Let us always love the best in others —
and never fear their worst. " anon

Step Ten - "Continued to take personal inventory
and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."
We "constructively criticized" someone who
needed it, when our real motive was to win
a useless argument. Or, the person concerned
not being present, we thought we were helping
others to understand him, when in actuality our
true motive was to feel superior by pulling
him down. We sometimes hurt those we love
because they need to be "taught a lesson,"
when we really want to punish. We were
depressed and complained we felt bad,
when in fact we were mainly asking for
sympathy and attention. This odd trait of mind
and emotion, this perverse wish to hide a bad
motive underneath a good one, permeates
human affairs from top to bottom.
This subtle and elusive kind of self-righteousness
can underlie the smallest act or thought.
Learning daily to spot, admit, and correct
these flaws is the essence of character-building
and good living. An honest regret for harms done,
a genuine gratitude for blessings received,
and a willingness to try for better things tomorrow
will be the permanent assets we shall seek.

1.Just Melt into Bed Tonight
It is our desire that while you are in these magnificent bodies:
That you are able to relax more and resist less
That you are able to allow more, and fuss and worry less
That you can find ways of praising more and complaining less
Of basking more and struggling less
Of flowing more and paddling less
Of laughing more and crying less
That you can find ways of relaxing into the knowing that you are just right - in the right place, at the right time.
That there is not some bandwagon that you need to get on.
Or not some thing that you need to do differently than what you are doing.
We so want you to just melt into bed tonight as you put yourself there. And feel the warm embrace of Source Energy wrapping around you and through you.
Feeling nothing but appreciation and love for your willingness to play in this co-creative game with all of us.
