My thought for today is Amends. I made my amends during the 8th and 9th step of my recovery process. The idea is to practice my program well enough so that I don't create situations where I have to make amends in the future. Alas, I, too, am less than perfect and sometimes I make mistakes. The 10th step encourages me to be on the lookout for when my defects of character crop up and when I am wrong - not if I am wrong - then I can make amends quickly. Apologizing for harm done to others is a good start, but ideally I need to get the situation back to where it was before I messed it up and as long as I do not harm others by doing so, then I am on the right track.
