Balance Today's Books
From: "Yesterday's Baggage"
For the wise have always known that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what he finds, and until he patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong.
Twelve and Twelve, page 88
I have more than enough to handle today, without dragging along yesterday's baggage too. I must balance today's books, if I am to have a chance tomorrow. So I ask myself if I have erred and how I can avoid repeating that particular behavior. Did I hurt anyone, did I help anyone, and why? Some of today is bound to spill over into tomorrow, but most of it need not if I make an honest daily inventory.

Well this post is spot on for me today. I know this post refers to the 10th step, but as I am on the 4th step this time(full effort), I find many painful truths about myself and my past behavior. It hurts so bad, as if my heart has been smashed. I am not much of a crier(except when drinking), and I have found myself crying a lot. I am trusting this process, for me to get to the 10th step, I have to unpack some of this baggage, and carry a lighter load into the 10th step. Boy, when they say "You'll be amazed before you are half way through", they were not kidding. Geez. I am amazed.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
