Working a 4...and remembering the thorns have roses again LOL

I am working this 4 in Alanon and the depth of rigorous honesty is WOW. Now, I thought I'd been honest before but this process is definitely a "peeling of an onion!  It's all good.

I have been at this since last year...more will be revealed, indeed.

April 9 reading blurps '...Some people neglect the program entirely and there are those who try to put it right, and those who want it to put them right---truly in my heart I want to know that if I can't, YOU can and if I let YOU, YOU will...Willingness and action open the lock and the bars made of self-will and self-indulgence...Acquire the knack of searching for the good and concentrating on it.  Much depends on meeting my problems head-on, calmly estimating their true character, refusing to exaggerate them and then drowning them out with an inspiring thought---"Thank YOU, GOD.  I can now see the thorns have roses."...As I learn that I am consistently lovable regardless of my strength or limitations, I begin to see something consistently lovable in others, even those who suffer from an unlovable disease...Learned to replace condemnation with compassion.'

Dear GOD, thank YOU.  Love, Carol xoxox
