AA Thought for the Day

Self-pity
When we catch self-pity starting, we also can take action against it
with instant bookkeeping.
For every entry of misery on the debit side,
we find a blessing we can mark on the credit side.
What health we have, what illnesses we don't have,
the sunny weather, a good meal a-coming, limbs intact,
kindnesses shown and received, a sober 24 hours,
a good hour's work, a good book to read,
and many other items can be totaled up to outbalance
the debit entries that cause self-pity.
Thought to Ponder....
Inventory taking is not all in red ink.
