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

You'll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything. When you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening. ~Sarah Paddison


Today I am grateful...
  • for duty and determination
  • for JJ who inspired today's thoughts What is Love?
  • for my spiritual brother, Dennis R, whose experience, strength, hope and love I can always count on
  • that my Higher Power puts no constraints or conditions on our relationship
  • that my Higher Power reveals to me small bits and pieces of the mysteries of life, and I get that only because I am sober

True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. ~Jason Jordan

I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

I am grateful to be able to accept God's will in a decision that was made for me, even though it didn't go in my favor and has cost me a lot of money. Sometimes we don't know why things happen like they do, we just have to trust that God knows best.
