As the World Turns

"Age 
is getting 
to know 
all the ways 
the world turns, 
so that if you 
cannot turn 
the world 
the way you want, 
you can at least, 
get out of the way 
so you won't get 
run over"

~ Miriam Makeba


Age is not a number, it is a stage in your life when you become willing
to accept the consequences of your actions.

If you or a friend or a family member have an addictive behavior
that is destroying a life you must learn the way a drunk thinks
so that you can change the way you look at your or their world.

The best clue to understanding the addictive thinking  is that the best thinking
of the drunk and addict is the thinking that is being so destructive to your or their life
and the lives of all of those involved with them.

The drunk and addict is selfish, self-centered, they are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
they are the victim, they attempt to push away anyone who loves them
and they try to kill themselves, because it is the nature of the disease.

Today, make the decision, try to turn the world the way you want to
and if that does not work, be smart enough to get out of the way.

If it is others who you may think have a problem, we can carry the message,
we can suggest to others how we see the world turning, but, if they refuse
to put on the sober glasses we cannot be responsible for what they see.

Today, ask your Higher Power to show you which way the world is turning
and ask for the strength and courage to do the next right thing.

Change.

Today, go with the flow, accept God's world for being exactly as He wants it to be,
knowing that we cannot stop the world and jumping off will not make anything
in God's world better,  so,  when all else fails, share the   LOVE,
it confuses your enemies and it makes you feel good.

Happiness is knowing which way the world is turning.

Love is God's grace to allow us to enjoy this world.
