Ok...for me the wishbone is visualizing those "doable" wants and needs that I don't have as yet.......its ok to "wish" "dream" visualize, but sometimes I get up in the stratosphere, and slowly I am making my "wish bone" more realistic
Backbone??? Serenity prayer about Peace to accept.....Courage to change, and I had to have plenty of "backbone" to get into al-anon and totally belly up, re: honesty and willingness and humility.....things I was willing to do and did do b/c of my intense hunger to be a bettter person
Funny bone??? Oh yea, if I can't fix it I make fun of it and toss it off me.....Really...My sense of humour , I think is what kept me alive all those dark years and also , now, it keeps me off victim thinking and by making fun of my trials after I have done all I can do...victory or loss, making fun of it, makes the karma lighter and sometimes that alone lifts the negativity off it and I find my answer or it just dissolves.......I don't feed the darkness w/more darkness......I will make a joke out of it...look for something to laugh about it and it aint so bad
