July 14    Where humility had formerly stood for a forced feeding on humble pie, it now begins to mean the nourshing ingredient which can give us serenity.  Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions p.204

How often do I focus om my problems and frustrations? When I am having a "good day" these same problems shrink in importance and my preoccupation with them dwindles. Wouldn't it be better if I could find a key to unlock the "magic" of my "good days" for use on the  woes of my " bad days ?"

I already have the solution! Instead of trying to run away from my pain and wish my problems away. I can pray for humility! Humility will heal the pain. Humility will take me out of myself. Humility, that strength granted to me by that "power greater than myself," is mine for the asking! Humility will bring balance back into my life.Humility will allow me to accept my humanness joyously.   Daily Reflections p. 204
