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

09.20.05

Today I am grateful...
  • that this morning's murder mystery dream was just that, a dream
  • for NOAA and other weather sources that keep us updated on the approaching hurricane Rita
  • that my mind has remained fairly calm thinking about preparations
  • that last night I reread the 'list' in the 12 & 12 about the 5th step
  • that my Higher Power watched over me from a dusty shelf for all those years
  • that sister So is recovering nicely from her carotid artery replacement surgery
  • that 'all this' is God, everything and nothing
  • that if the weather predictions do not change, and if we have to leave, we have a warm and loving place to which to escape

Good to hear about your sister recovering and sending all good thoughts and wishes your way.

A quiet mind and a peaceful heart, I will say it again, are truly the most beautiful gifts we can receive.

Have a good day!

Not so comfy couch or my bed if you should ever need it. Though I don't know how Chester will get along with the cats. Stay safe.
