Many people living in one day at a time recovery know that our teachers and our mentors become tired as all teachers and mentors do but they continue to teach and we continue to to learn. Our teachers are the joyous and torrid paths found in this thing called life. It can leave us with a tiredness because our lives can do this to us. Our teachers become tired because we are often worn out by responsibility and adversity. Life teaches us this during economic difficulties, health problems and at times from such things like the weather. Heat and humidity also can play a major role in bringing us into a state in which we are lethargic, listless and just plain over-heated. Our mentors know this. They remind us to hydrate, rest and live life one day at a time. They tell us that this too shall pass. There are even times when we go out for a soft drink and cool off in an air-condition place. (That is if we don’t already have air-conditioned homes.) Also we rest as much as we can. We need to take care of ourselves. Our teachers and our mentors teach us this. Peace.
