DAY TWENTY THREE ~ MEETING TWENTY THREE
GIFTS
My meeting today had a topic from the OA basic text, 2nd edition, page 121. It said:
"Letting go of perfection.... I had to find success in each day and build on that, recognizing that each day was a gift from God, and my God didn't expect me to be more than human."
Each day is a gift from God. Funny, this is something I was just discussing this morning with some others in the program. I was talking about how just a couple of days ago, everything seemed to be going wrong. My son was testy, having accidents, etc. and I was completely in tears. Then, I took a moment to ask for help from HP and things eventually turned around and the day didn't turn out quite as bad as I expected.
I am trying to take each day and find the good points in it. In my morning prayers, I try to remember that this could be my last day, which is truly a gift from God and I should make the best of it. I'm certainly not saying this is always easy. Sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do in my day, but if I can just learn to giggle when my daughter does something silly instead of feeling frustrated, I'll be making the most of that moment and that day.
Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
