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

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things. ~Vincent van Gogh, Dear Theo: An Autobiography of Vincent van Gogh, 1937

Today I am grateful...
  • for the countdown...15 days
  • that I stayed up working until 1:00 am because I can
  • to hear of an alcoholic who had been sober for 23 years, who had surgery, whose doctor prescribed pain killers, who has gone back to drinking
  • for liver and onions with Brussels sprouts...lol...as a kid I would have been puking, today I love them
  • for a late night visit with LaJuana to get the keys so I can feed Zoe for a couple of days
  • that God has provided for me daily for over fifty-one years and will continue to do so one day at a time
  • that today I have much for which to be grateful that I cannot count them all without spending the rest of the day doing so, even then I would leave things out

I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits, and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds. ~Quentin Crisp

Not feeling in the best of moods today, but I am grateful for one thing especially:

That I am not drinking, and that I know today that a drink does not solve problems but creates them.
