Your Skin Don’t Fit

“You’re Ugly and Your Skin Don’t Fit.” That is a saying from my past. It was meant to be derogatory. I’m not sure I know exactly what it meant, but I used to believe it. Since OA, when I look inside, I see my Higher Power changing me. Now I see goodness, love, understanding, acceptance of me and others and a new inner beauty. Because eyes are the windows to the soul, I plan to use OA and my HP as window cleaner to keep those windows very clean, in hopes that you and others may see in. As I look around at the faces smiling back at me, I see eyes aglow with love and understanding. I see only the most beautiful people I have ever met. Thank you for being part of my recovery.
