Today's Reading - For Today

"The moral deteriorations attendant on a false and shallow life are among the most pitiable wrongs that mortals suffer." Nathaniel Hawthorne At one time I needed to make a good impression, put up a facade that said everything was fine. That's all I had, a facade. Today i have more, but sometimes I still play the game. "If it looks good, it is good." Thank God, there is a part of my consciousness that is not impressed by appearances. I may try to silence it with distractions but it forces me to look at the truth. Once again, the tenth step brings incredible relief. It feels good to plan to correct myself, to make amends where possible. For today: Making a list of my worst faults and the problems each of them creates in my life today helps me see what I can do to change.
