A DAY AT A TIME

REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

Merely to change my behavior, and what I say and do, doesn't prove there's been a change in my actual inner attitude.  I'm deceiving myself if I believe I can somehow completely disguise my true feelings.  They'll somehow come through, prolonging the difficulties in my relationships with others.  I have to avoid half-measures in getting rid of the trouble-some emotions.  I've been trying to hide.  Have I taken an honest inventory of myself?

TODAY I PRAY

May I know that feeling will come out somehow -- sometimes barely disguised as behavior that I cannot always understand.  But that perhaps is more acceptable to me than the root emotion that caused it.  May I be completely and vigilantly honest with myself.  May I be given the insight that comes through depending upon a Higher Power.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Feelings can come out "sideways".
