My thought for today is First Things First. For me, that is prayer, meditation, and reflection. Every day. A member of my home group says, The days that I pray almost always turn out better than the days I don't. When I awaken, I read from three books, one AA, one Al-anon, one Alateen. And I read a passage from the Bible, lately it's one of the Psalms. Then, I think about those who are suffering. Some from alcoholism or addiction, others might be dying from some illness. Still others maybe their dog ran away. I ask God to have a care for them. then, I ask God what he wants me to do today and I pick a word from my god box. Today, it was First things first. I write about the word or slogan, like I'm doing right now and then I share my thoughts with over a hundred people on social media. I find that the prayer, meditation, and reflection keeps me focused, centered if you will, and helps me start my day in a much better way than with a few drinks. The big book reminds me that "frequent contact with newcomers and with others is the bright spot of my day." I try to maintain that contact first thing of my day.
