Another exercise that I practice is to try for a
full inventory of my blessings
and then for a right acceptance of the many gifts
that are mine -- both temporal and spiritual.
Here I try to achieve a state of joyful gratitude.
When such a brand of gratitude is repeatedly
affirmed and pondered,
it can finally displace the natural tendency
to congratulate myself on whatever progress
I may have been enabled to make in some areas of living.
I try hard to hold fast to the truth
that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits.
When brimming with gratitude,
one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love,
the finest emotion that we can ever know.
Bill W., March 1962.

Thought to Ponder....

You very seldom see a grateful person getting drunk.
