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

My heart expanded today...

when I launched into prayer this morning from being in extreme gratitude
when I held Chester against my chest and sang to him
when I saw Boston's smile because she has 5 days clean
when I read "How It Works" at the noon meeting
when I saw Laura speaking with an elderly woman at Fiesta
when I was chatting with my sister and she told me of my nephew confiding in her with a problem
when I was able to offer my own experience, hope and strength to her
when I got an IM from JJ saying she needed hotel information for Houston
when I watched Oprah (schmaltzy I know, but I am an easy target these days)
when I sit here writing this

Lately I have been having lots of spirit connections. Sometimes they are subtle, but the majority of times they are extremely lucid. I have been easily moved, more so than usual. Every time I am faced with a problem, an uncertainty, the resulting prayer and attempts to turn it over and let it go, I feel like I am right in the lines of a perfect circle. That the overwhelming love and protection I feel will, one day, chase away all the stuff that keeps me from handing over my life 100% to trust.
