To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
~ Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz
Not that we’re getting well. We feel the need for love more than ever. We tried to avoid love by using chemicals to feel good. But it didn’t work. Addiction cut us off even more from people.
How do we fill our needs for love? We can think about this fact: People give us love all the time. Only we just haven’t seen it. Every time someone comes to a meeting to get well with us, that is love. Love isn’t all-or-nothing. Little gems of love are all over. Watch them. Enjoy them. Give them to others.
Prayer for the Day:
Higher Power, love comes from You. Help me see it, and give it.
Action for the Day:
I’ll look three persons in the eye today and send them love in my smile.
