IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

04.02.05

Today I am grateful...

  • that yesterday was my 500th day of a new sober life! 500!
  • for my sponsee's call yesterday and that I am now a grandsponsor
  • for from-the-gut laughter with Jim and Randall
  • that patience paired with letting go gives me a renewed sense of peace
  • to focus on the first part of the definition of trudge--to walk or march steadily, and less on the second part--and usually laboriously
  • that I have been able to focus on the joy of working my program, not to see it as a burden
  • for restraint of thought. I no longer have to obsess like I did in days past and that helps keep some free space in my brain.
  • to observe someone's connection to the program growing and the light it puts in her face
  • that the more I add to my foundation today will afford me stronger support for tomorrow
