AA Thought for the Day

One day, a couple of years ago, I was walking along
a sand road on the West Coast of Florida,
when an answer came to me.
I suddenly said to myself,
"I want everybody whom I hate or fear,
everybody who has ever injured me,
or whom I may have injured --
I want them all to be as happy as I want to be.
I want them to be happy right now, wherever they are."
And then I thought of a couple of people
and named them out loud and said, "I want you to be happy."
Something happened.
It was as if a black bird flew suddenly out of my heart.
I felt a wonderful sense of peace,
and my eyes filled with tears.

Thought to Ponder....

Happiness is not a station we arrive at;
it's a way of traveling.
