FIXING ME, NOT YOU

          If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are in the wrong also.
          TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 90

          What a freedom I felt when this passage was pointed out to me!
          Suddenly I saw that I could do something about my anger, I could
          fix me, instead of trying to fix them. I believe that there are
          no exceptions to the axiom. When I am angry, my anger is always
          self-centered. I must keep reminding myself that I am human, that
          I am doing the best I can, even when that best is sometimes poor.
          So I ask God to remove my anger and truly set me free.

Hi Doll. Good post. Have had a bit of that anger stuff lately. The ability to forgive with love, and to try to understand others...takes it away. Have a good day.
