March 13

"We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts."
                                                           - William Hazlitt


Logic is all very well for the world's business, but it has little to do with living. Life defies logic. Figuring-out has no place in growth. Reasons and rationalizations are what I used to indulge my disease of compulsive overeating. 


Today I rely on intuitive feelings - not to be confused with self-centered emtions such as anger and jealousy - to tell me about things outside myself. What does a newcomer need to hear? How is an old friend doing? What words do I say to someone in trouble? What needs can I fill? Intuition goes far beyond words; it comes from compassionate perception, which is one of those gifts from my Higher Power that increase as I pass them on.


For Today: I trust an intuitive feeling, rather than weigh and measure facts and sides.

"I am ready to be healed. I am willing to forgive. All is well."    ~Louise L. Hay

  1. Aside from this reading, a quote I heard today in church really inspired me:

    "You can't live off of yesterday's blessings."

    How true it is that this program is DAILY...and what a blessing to live forward rather than looking backward!
