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

01.02.06

Forever is longer than you know. Eternal is longer than Forever. God is more than you imagine. God is the energy you call imagination. God is creation. God is first thought. And God is last experience. And God is everything in between. ~Cw/G

Today I am grateful...
  • that even though I woke with my ear and nose stopped up--I woke up sober
  • that I would not trade my sobriety for anything
  • to have seen a small painting I did framed in such a beautiful manner
  • that some people get true enjoyment from the things I create
  • that I and my schedule are flexible enough that I could work yesterday at home
  • that I was finally satisfied with the colors I mixed yesterday, creating color is a challenge for me
  • that my Higher Power has carried me through many tough times and deposited me on the other shore in one piece
  • that today I choose life

...if you repeat a thought, or say a word, over and over again—not once, not twice, but dozens, hundreds, thousands of times—do you have any idea of the creative power of that? A thought or a word expressed and expressed and expressed becomes just that—expressed. That is, pushed out. It becomes outwardly realized. It becomes your physical reality. ~Cw/G

JJ, It is hanging in a friend's house and I don't have a picture of it to show. Maybe if I have my camera next time I am there.

"that my Higher Power has carried me through many tough times and deposited me on the other shore in one piece"

Or, perhaps, "one peace"?

Great list and sweater!
