I am ashamed of these tears. And yet at the extreme of my misfortune I am ashamed not to shed them. — Euripides— Shame is a little whip we carry with us. We can shame ourselves easily; the little whip stings. We often use it to punish feelings, because they evoke the helpless children we […]

No human creature can give order to love. —George Sand— If we are trying to get others to love us, all we’re really doing is trying to be in control. Trying to control others can be a powerful drug. Remember, we can’t control others. We can’t make others love us. Our Higher Power has control, […]

Terrible things could have happened to any one of us. We never will know what might have happened to us when we were drunk. We usually thought: “That couldn’t happen to me.” But any one of us could have killed somebody or have been killed ourselves, if we were drunk enough. But fear of these […]

That day is lost on which one has not laughed. —French proverb— For a long time, we didn’t really laugh. It’s surprising when we think about it: We hadn’t really laughed for so long . . . we almost forgot how good we could feel. It feels so good to laugh again! Now our spirits […]
