Time is not our friend. Every day I am reminded how much the phrase “one day at a time means.” I personally know how fragile this life can be, one day your fine and the next day can be devastating. That’s why I find so much importance in trying to make that point to new people. I know just how reckless and indifferent we can make our lives. This is where living by the steps helps bring about changes that makes us realize how valuable and beautiful life can be. There were 2 people who gave me Light today by sharing a part of themselves with me. One was pretty much a stranger that I met in a grocery store, her cheerfulness and joy were a true beam of light, letting me know that Angels show up when see them fluttering around, distributing light through us by being able to take that short moment with each other. The other is a wonderful friend who has brought me great moments of reflective energy in the past 3 months, making more aware of how someone caring is important to daily health.
You may ask what does this have to do with sobriety, it has everything to do with it! Before I had become isolated behind a wall of indifference and indulgence, thinking only of self and having contempt for everything. The essence of step 12 which is love and service has made me completely change that attitude of indifference and learn to become a part of life, so I can have and enjoy the absolute beauty that lies within everyone of us that lets that beauty shine through the perfection of the image of the “ONE.” May God hold you and keep you in the arms of His/Her Light.
