Reflection for April 13

When a reformed drunkard gives advice,
you don't hear it, you see it.

—Dr. Seldon Bacon

Reflection

'Tis often said that whosover can take advice is some-
times better than the giver. And 'tis often said, "Take
my advice; I'm not using it myself." If my mind is clear
and free of drink, however, I can recognize good
advice, no matter the source, since "good advice is
sometimes given by bad people."

Affirmation

Today, let my life's doing be the best advice of the day,
and may I hear it myself.
