If We Make It Through December

Always, always there are folks better and worse off. Decades ago when I first started attending AA meetings, I learned the importance and power of gratitude. When no one could provide a burning desire to focus on in a discussion group, the topic of choice would almost always be gratitude. I learned by listening to others speak their gratitude how powerful it is and how it sorts things out aright, leading to acts of kindness and deeper understanding of self. Bonhoeffer said "it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich." I can attest to this.
