A TREASURED FRIEND

A GOOD FRIEND CAN TELL YOU
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU IN A MINUTE .
HE MAY NOT SEEM SUCH A GOOD FRIEND
AFTER THE TELLING .


YOUR FRIEND IS THE MAN
WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOU ,
AND STILL LIKES YOU

FRIENDSHIP IS A SINGLE SOUL
DWELLING IN TWO BODIES

THE FRIENDSHIP THAT
CAN COME TO AN END
NEVER REALLY BEGAN

WE KNOW OUR FRIENDS
BY THEIR DEFECTS
RATHER THAN BY THEIR MERITS.

MORE BLESSINGS

May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
The foresight to know where you're going
And the insight to know when you're going too far


He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.

IRISH BLESSINGS

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad

Always remember to forget
The FRIENDS that proved untrue
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you


Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light
May good luck pursue you each morning and night

May your troubles be less and your blessing be more
And nothing but happiness come through your door.

I came across this blessing and it struck me as so ironic because I have recently found out who my true friends really are ! They are those dear souls who have held my hands and let me rest my head on there shoulder in my time of need , they have never wavered or done me wrong . They have come running when I have called and they have lifted me up when I needed lifting I just want to Thank them all and only hope to return the friendship tenfold . You know who you are and remember I am here if needed.

DAILY MONITORING

The spiritual axiom referred to in the Tenth step _ "every time we are disturbed , no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us " - also tells me that there are no exceptions to it. No matter how unreasonable others may seem , I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT REACTING NEGATIVELY. regardless of what is happening around me I will always have the prerogative , and the responsibility , of choosing what happens within me . I am the creator of my own reality .
When I take my daily inventory , I know that I must stop judging others . If I judge others, I am probably just JUDGING MYSELF. Whoever is upsetting me most is my best teacher . I have much to learn from him or her , and in my heart , I should thank that person.
