One Day at a Time in Al-Anon:
Al-Anon has many treasures for me if I am willing to accept them, but none can do more for me than learning really to live in the present. That means being more aware of myself and of small happy things that often dramatize themselves into importance as I observe them with enjoyment.
No matter how grim the situation may be that has troubled all my waking thoughts, there are shining nuggets of pleasantness all around me to distract my mind from its cares. But I must be on the lookout for them so they will not be lost to me!
Today’s Reminder:
The noted scientist Huxley said it this way: “For every man, the world is as fresh as it was the first day, and as full of untold novelties for him who has the eyes to see them.
This is a constructive and rewarding way to achieve the detachment so often mentioned in Al-Anon.
“God make me receptive and aware; restore to me my capacity for wonder.”
