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

Silence is also a form of speech. --West Africa Proverb

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation. --Brian Tracy

Today I am grateful...
  • that I am not in, around or near an airport today, but my cell phone will be as dAAve will take it when he picks up Jim G and Sparkle from Minneapolis
  • for the life around me, although the planet is being ruined by overpopulation
  • for the marvels that darkness and light create
  • for the mysteries I can see today that were once clouded by alcohol
  • for the anticipation of tomorrow's gratitude noon meeting, we usually have about 300 attending, followed by a feast
  • that I can be present when the phone rings, like yesterday morning when So called, and that I can offer support and maybe some solutions

Every time you experience joy, there is one less person feeling pain. Each time you spread joy to another, the positive power of that joy begins to multiply. There is no limit to how far and wide the joy can spread when you send it out beyond you. There is no telling what goodness will eventually result when you choose to nurture and send forth joy from your life. -Ralph Marston
