If even the best of us on our best day had our character defects tattoed on our forehead we might pull our cap down to hide it. - something a longtimer said in a meeting tonight.

Yeah I was kinda rolling it around in my head for a bit too, when he said it because I had this vision of how saintly I was going to be, but things didn't turn out quite the way I envisioned them. There's a passage in the 12 and 12, in step 12 when they give the little summary of the steps....."Then in step seven, we humbly asked god to remove our shortcomings such as He could or would under the conditions of the day we asked." So, these defects of mine don't mysteriously evaporate. I still have every one of and they are all within arms reach. But some days my honesty is better and some days I'm not flying into a rage because someone offended my ego and some days not very many but some days I'm even humble. So even on my best days, I'm still not all that cute and adorable. and I'm certainly not one of the best. maybe that will happen tomorrow, but it didn't happen today. I take my hat off to kermit the frog - some days its not easy being green.

Guess I constantly need to weed my garden ! And remember too that when I look at others they too look at me.
I can often get negative so I made a list of all the positives on the other side of the page, I can constantly add to it :}
Someone mentioned high class problems,and I try to remember that most of the time that's all I suffer from.
My higher power never gives me much that he know;s I cant handle sober today. I think of the song streets of London,then say to myself,yes I have very little to worry about today.
