Day 612

Good afternoon!  My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  Remember when you were little and your mom or dad would always ask you, "What's the magic word?" and you would have to say, "Please" or "Thank you?"   I still have to use these today,  especially when I am praying.  Each morning I thank God for waking me up, then please ask him to keep me clean and sober one more day, before I go on my way.  At the end of the day I thank him for all that he has done and keeping me sober one more day.  Throughout the day I say please and thank you to him many more times as well, hopefully more thank yous than pleases.  But also throughout my day I need to be saying this to everyone else, people at work, at restaurants, at school, at church, everywhere.  My parents taught me to have respect and to have manners.  I was taught to be kind and helpful.  So hopefully you still use your magic words today!  That's all I have for today!  Have a great one!

Honor and respect, I salute you! Respect your elders was a common phrase that went for a swim and never came back to shore. No lifeguard was on duty, I guess. But "if equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me". We can resurrect dignity. Thanks for breathing life into this "old" way of living. Peace~
