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

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions. ~Joey Adams

Today I am grateful...
  • that although time makes no pause to celebrate another year passing I can and be grateful for the past year of twenty-four hours at a time
  • that I am given all I need for the day
  • that I want what I have
  • for the calm happiness that pervades my life
  • for honesty, openmindedness and willingness

A New year: 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes--a time to consider directions, goals, and actions. I must make some plans to live a normal life, but also I must live emotionally within a twenty-four hour frame, for if I do, I don't have to make New Year's resolutions! I can make every day a New Year's day! I can decide, "Today I will do this . . .Today I will do that." Each day I can measure my life by trying to a little better, by deciding to follow God's will and making an effort to put the principles of our A.A. program into action. ~Daily Reflections

I like the Joey Adams quote, except this year, my resolution is to remain sober for the full 2006, so I hope it doesn't apply to me!

Happy New Year to you!
