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

Today I am grateful...
  • that my program lets me establish an outline of my own choosing with which to live my life
  • that within my outline does not include being a trained dog
  • that Randall climbed the 25 steps last night at Mo Mong and is walking more and more without a cane
  • that at this time, my life does not have the stress of needing to find someone with which to have a 'relationship'
  • for communication. Last night's 12th step instant messenger conversation and a long talk with a sponsee helped me to stay sober.
  • at the enormous laugh last night when we were told that the Christians will be really pissed when they find out Iraq will never be a Christian faith-based democracy
  • that you can believe all you want to believe and I can believe all I want to believe

Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. --Will Rogers

What is not love is fear. Anger is one of fear's most potent faces. And it does exactly what fear wants it to do. It keeps us from receiving love at exactly the moment when we need it most. -- Marianne Williamson

The spiritual path is not one of attainment, but return. --Alan Cohen

"that at this time, my life does not have the stress of needing to find someone with which to have a 'relationship'"........AMEN! I'm taking some "ME" time. Honestly I think I'm going to be the "old cat woman" I made fun of when I was a kid.
Peace,
JJ
