If life was fair, Elvis would be alive
and the impersonators would be dead.
—Johnny Carson
Reflection
That's the way it is. You can do everything right an all
with the best of intentions — and still wind up behind
the eight ball. And then suffer the irony of having some
guru from the program ask what step you are working
on. So much is out of our hands. Learning to accept life
as it breaks over us is the hardest of tasks. We are all
part of God's plan. The choice is to accept it or wallow
in the self-imposed pain of victimhood.
Affirmation
Help me to see beyond the appearance of things and to
know that I am always part of God's plan.
