Day 431

Good morning! My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Words are a very impactful thing. They can help or hurt.  One word can make or break someone's day. They can inspire and they can destroy. Once they are spoken they can never be taken back.   I need to taste the words before they leave my lips.  I have been trying to think before I speak.  Before, I would just blurt out what came to my mind.  Sometimes I still do it, but I am trying to work on that on a daily basis.  I am getting better at it, but it I am a work in progress.  But being kind, and letting someone know how I feel is more important to me now.  I am trying to be less selfish.  I am not perfect, and still do think about me, but am trying focus on others not myself.  The world does not revolve around Lauren.  And I do feel better when I do things for others, and I know others feel good when I do something for them, so say something kind, so I will continue to do so.  Be kind, and say something nice to someone today. That's all I got for today!  Have a great one!
