• self-righteousness is a tool I have used to justify my behavior and my decisions, many of which have turned out to be the “right” thing for me. Yet today, I see that I do not have to convince anyone else of how right I may be or how wrong they are, so I am entirely ready for God to remove this self-righteous thinking to make room for the quiet compassion that can’t always find its way to the surface.
• eloquence and articulation have enabled me to “explain” the same thing over and over and over again, hoping that eventually the person I am speaking to will see it my way and come around to my way of thinking.
• humility is how I determine and promptly admit when self-righteousness begins to creep back in.
• wisdom to know the difference between God’s will and my will, as well as the difference between humility and humiliation. I do not have to lose any part of my true self to achieve the former.
• Al-Anon slogans – such as “Listen and Learn” which I will apply today to remind myself that I do not have all the answers.
• Faeries keep me humble by providing me with all kinds of little surprises as reminders of just how human I am, and how important it is to just roll with this life I am privileged to know.
