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

"Everyone Smiles in the same language."--Proverb

Today I am grateful...

  • that one day I will look back at today and see how far I have grown
  • to have much more patience with myself today than in the past
  • that there was no traffic in the intersection yesterday when I accidentally ran a red light (insert big gratitude here)
  • for frivolous TV like Project Runway
  • for memories of "A Tuna Christmas" and the woman in the audience whose boyfriend got his hand caught in her overly hairsprayed hair

"Pain comes like the weather, but joy is a choice."--Rodney Crowell

We of A.A. obey spiritual principles, at first because we must, then because we ought to, and ultimately because we love the kind of life such obedience brings. Great suffering and great love are A.A.'s disciplinarians; we need no others. -12 and 12, p. 174
