Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually
Unconditional love
A small pet is often an excellent companion for the sick.
Florence Nightingale.
In our sickness and recovery from addiction, pets
provide a focus outside of ourselves. They give
unconditional love, are non-judgmental and honest
in showing their emotions. They are loyal and
forgiving. The power of example shines bright on
most pets, inspiring us to be better people. To feel
trusted and loved by a pet can be an important
moment in recovery. They say that the newly sober
should learn relationships by first tending a plant,
then a pet and then another human being. Will I
strive to be the person that my pet thinks I am?
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. St Paul, Corinthians. Perhaps I
need to learn how to love. If so, I could do no better
than to reflect on these words of St Paul which are as
fresh as when they were written, nearly two
thousand years ago. Today I ask God to grow in
love, because nothing else matters.
