So this morning, my AH who has been going to AA faithfully for the past 4 weeks said his New Year resolution is not to hate anymore.  We have one family member in particular that takes alot of strength to like and even understand.  He is always spewing hate towards this person and won't stop.  I was so happy to share my learnings from alanon with him.  I said, I have been told if something is bothering you and you feel the need to react, take a step back and think..."HOW IMPORTANT IS IT?"  once I said that he looked and me and said, "I like that, that's a good one to know."  Little changes, baby steps and a whole lot of faith will keep me going.  Happy NEW YEAR to everyone.  and know we aren't alone.

Food for thought, from my daily devotional: We can have the same year, over and over again, or we can have a new year, every single day.
