Little Things In Life


Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry -- I was wrong."


Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.


Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.


So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.


Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the Little Things
in Life that mean a lot.

-- The Language of Letting Go.



Surrender



Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him.
--Step Three of Al Anon


Surrendering to a Power greater than ourselves is how we become empowered.


We become empowered in a new, better, more effective way than we believed possible.


Doors open. Windows open. Possibilities occur. Our energy becomes channeled, at last, in areas and ways that work for us. We become in tune with the Plan for our life and our place in the Universe.


And there is a Plan and Place for us. We shall see that. We shall know that. The Universe will open up and make a special place for us, with all that we need provided.


It will be good. Understand that it is good, now.


Learning to own our power will come, if we are open to it. We do not need to stop at powerlessness and helplessness. That is a temporary place where we re evaluate where we have been trying to have power when we have none.


Once we surrender, it is time to become empowered.


Let the power come, naturally. It is there. It is ours.


Today, I will be open to understanding what it means to own my power. I will accept powerlessness where I have no power; I will also accept the power that is mine to receive.
