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

Let me tell thee, time is a very precious gift of God; so precious that it's only given to us moment by moment. --Amelia Barr

In this moment I am grateful...
  • for the recognition that this moment is all I have, that it is continuous
  • that Chester seems to be healing from his spill and has returned to normal walking (or what is normal for an old man)
  • to have been able to celebrate a dear old friend's birthday without any alcohol
  • for friends and loved ones and those who are both
  • that progressing through my program has freed up a lot of space that used to be filled with such darkness I couldn't see any way out
  • that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train anymore

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. --M. Scott Peck

Good news on all fronts.

I am happy to hear that Chester is healing.

Someone tells me sometimes it is moment to moment, heartbeat to heartbeat....
