What people really need is a good listening-to. --Mary Lou Casey

Today I am grateful...
  • that by following suggestions that have proved helpful to others I can live a life I never new could exist, and then to be told it just gets better
  • that the fruits of this lifetime make me curious about the last
  • for the sound of rain this morning when I woke and to turn over and fall back asleep, such luxury
  • for the moules escargot, Caesar salad and soup a la oignon last night at Cafe Montrose followed by vanilla ice cream with hot Belgian chocolate...burp
  • for the strength and encouragement working the program of AA has given me
What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others. --French proverb

And I will say, unless you are my sponsor, stop taking my inventory.

And I would suggest say something positive and inspiring, but I dare say that would be difficult for you.

Time to move on into a negative room perhaps?

So

I think it is fantastic that what you say has the same message: you are showing your attitude of gratitude. Stability is part of what makes our lives good today.

I am so happy to get rid of drama and chaos. (although I do have a bit of a dramatic post today about Bush!) That is as dramatic as the day gets.
