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

11.19.05

11 18 03

Today I am grateful...
  • for two years of sobriety
  • for morning meditations and prayer
  • for the Dennis R yearly tradition that helps us stay sober
  • for the haloed and winged Jack Russell terrier ornament Chase gave me
  • for tears in gratitude
  • to be able to lead the noon meeting on my birthday. There was a first-timer and I got to announce that Nov 18 was a good sobriety date if she wanted it. The meeting was inspiring, with lots of experience, strength and hope. And laughter. And she did pick up a desire chip.
  • for the ton of cards, emails from all over the world and well wishes
  • for the beautiful coin from Barbara C
  • for the sobriety date sculpture Dave had made for me (see pic above)
  • for the dinner party at Dennis and Richard's home. An intimate evening with close friends in recovery, excellent food and lots of laughter. Mr. Biggles even made a showing.
  • that tonight wraps up the celebration officially, but I will carry it all through my third year
  • to have my cup of grace overflowing
