Loneliness 🌼
I want to be a deep spirited friend to the people in my life. I’ve learned early (like preverbal) that I could not count on anyone. Therefore: I’ve tended to be deeply lonely. (Instructive thought) Jesus has answered that need finally ( well I let Him answer that need finally ) now that I’m 50.…

What if they can’t \won’t receive my ammends?
This Is what swearing is for. Step 8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. When we have REALLY screwed the pooch… Like neglect…
