I hate avocado. Well, hate may be a little strong. I guess I just despise it, or view it with contempt. Green slime in a puddle. Something like that. And I haven't done a thing to correct that opinion, since it doesn't appear have any serious negative effect on my recovery.
JD and I swapped a comment today that brought something to mind. There were a few other things that I disliked when I started this journey. Mostly people. All in general and an elite, very select group that required an extra dose of my own personal brew of resentment, anger, hatred and fear. It has required a considerable period of my attention and effort to adjust the way I view people.
You know something? You people reallly aren't as bad as I thought. I took the advice of people that had figured it out and it has worked for me too. I pray for them by name - and me. Nothing special, just for Gods will in our lives. For as long as it takes.
Now I find I actually like people. The ones that were special to me no longer consume my energy - one way or the other for the most part. So it proves that God can change all of you, just to make me happy - right?
OK, you guys didn't change - but one huge thing changed in me. My perception of people. collectivly and as individuals. Tis a grand thing that I am thankful for.
But you know - avocado still sucks.
Nuff said,
Dennis
