February 16 The Nearest and Dearest


God will give you the chance, who you keep as a friend is your choice.

“Yes, we must ever be friends;
and of all who offer you friendship
Let me be ever the first, the truest,
the nearest and dearest!”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

You must first be a friend to have a friend.

If you want nice friends, be a nice person.

If you can trust yourself, you can trust a friend.

Mothers can become best friends to their children,

only after the child has learned the lesson.

Friendship is mutually earned by sharing common interests,

similar feelings and a desire to share the spiritual principles

of honesty, open mindedness and willingness.

Share with a friend today how near and dear they are to you.

Happiness is being the nearest and dearest friend to a nice person.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

February 15 Change the Eyes


“Since we cannot change reality, let us change

the eyes which see reality.” ~ Nikos Kazantzakis


What a constant theme in our lives, look for the change,

accept the change and better yet, try to change to make

this world a better place for all .

Today, try to see what part you play in the problems of your

life, the reality, or are you blaming others, finding excuses,

being selfish and self-centered, living in the fantasy world

your addictive behaviors have created.

Today, start looking for a way to be a part of the solution.

Happiness is seeing reality as God’s will.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
