Today's Reading - For Today

"Not to go back is somewhat to advance. And men must walk, at least, before they dance." Alexander Pope Nothing in nature grows at the speed human anxiety would wish it to grow. It takes time to halt a retreat, more time again to overcome inertia and begin to take a new direction. I cannot expect the difficulties in my life to be erased because I wish it. I am learning to walk one step at a time, and I look forward to dancing. I am grateful for the upturn in my attitude, for my patience, my ability to reach out, then step back and wait. Yes, indeed, I am on my feet, thanks to my Higher Power and Overeaters Anonymous. For today: I rejoice in the broken bonds of obsession, and I am content with my progress.
