Resentments
I must face the fact that the resentment process is not only fruitless, it is self-defeating.
Justified or not, the resentment, and my efforts to bolster its justification,
will eat away at my peace of mind and my enjoyment of life.
Meanwhile, the person I resent couldn't care less.
Here I am burning myself to a crisp over something he or she may not be totally aware of, something I can't change. . .
So maybe what I need to do is take a look at changing myself.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 3], p. 107

Thought to Ponder . . .
Bless them; change me.

Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
