Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality.--Alfred Painter

Today I am grateful...

• that it's one until two
• for those who showed me it was possible and gave me the courage to make my own way
• that with every alcoholic's story I hear I get more insight into my disease
• that as a group we who would not normally mix find the strength to do battle
• that soon our backyard will be peaceful again
• to have absolutely no disappointment in the way things are today
• for ellipses...

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.-Albert Schweitzer

Don't work for my happiness--show me yours--show me that it is possible--show me your achievement--and the knowledge will give me courage for mine. --Ayn Rand

Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which you have sufficient evidence, and to suspend your judgment when you have not. Some things have to be believed to be seen. Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.-Max Stein
