Humility
On his desk, Dr. Bob had a plaque defining humility:
"Perpetual quietness of heart.  It is to have no trouble.  It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore;
to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.
It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself
where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace,
as in a deep sea of calmness, when all and around is seeming trouble."
- Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers, p. 222

Thought to Ponder . . .
The storm has passed.  I've learned a little more about peace.  It was inside all the time.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
H O P E = Hang On!  Peace Exists.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
