The readings remind me that during my inventories and subsequent amends process I need to be hard on myself and considerate of others.
When I was early in my recovery, I was willing to admit almost every secret to everyone even those it would hurt.
I wanted more of that feeling of freedom that comes with admission of my part of every experience.
I learned through some very difficult conversations that my desire for that freedom did not trump the other people’s feelings.
I needed to learn discernment.
I needed to master honesty wrapped in compassion and humility.
Today I confide in my sponsor and mentor if I have thoughts which might bring discomfort to others.
Interestingly, I currently find I have very few thoughts of how to live life which would hurt me or others.
Today I intend to enter each experience with compassion, understanding, kindness, humor, humility, acceptance, appreciation, peace and Love.
May each of you find your balance in human relationships.
You are Loved.
