Keyboard and Letting Go

My keyboard broke...weird.  I wasn't sure what was the problem but apparently it just went-out, quit working.  Finally I bought a replacement so I'm backkkkk.   :)

Anyway, the holidays were w-i-l-d and fun.  I had the family over on New Year's Day and we all milled about, had a nice time.  I really appreciated seeing their beautiful faces and enjoyed hearing their voices.  Not really sure how enjoyable their experiences were but I do think it was a roaring success.  LOL

One of the things that my sponsor pointed-out which came up in my last 5th Step was I keep messes going at the house, too much stuff, cluttered, etc. so I keep people away, gives me an excuse.  Well...like, the "stuff" is more important than people!  What!!!!!!   Grrrrrrr....that must stop.  There is no "thing" more important than them...no gold, silver, etc.  So, I've been busy, like a busy bee.  LOL  I'm amazed at how much a challenge it is for me to let go of some things.  A piece of a plastic, or a wooden object, or a this or that.  Jeesh.  It's not so much the thing itself but my attachment to it that looms large in my mind's eye.  Silly me.

So it is a new day and GOD-willing, I have a chance just for today, to choose differently.  I can choose to pick up the spiritual tool kit laid at my feet, freely given, and use those Steps, the slogans, the Traditions, the literature, my sponsor, the phone, prayer and meditation, etc. to stay in the Solution or...I can act delusional, crazy, insane like I am the solution to all my problems and every body else's...and see where that takes me every time...into the pits.

Dear GOD, just for today may I do YOUR will in everything that presents itself.  YOU are the Power, the Source, the One.  I pray I remember to Let GO and Let GOD, also to Live and Let Live.  Love, Carol xoxox
