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

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. ~unknown

Today I am grateful...
  • to wake this morning with the clear physical feeling that only comes after a bout with illness
  • for continuing practices of constant communication
  • for all the compassion I received lately, for I am not a good patient--I want to moan and groan and let you know that no one has ever had it as bad as I. Funny thing is that this behavior, which I have practiced all my life, makes it difficult to emphathise with others that are feeling poorly...but these days I do concentrate on how another is feeling when I learn they are physically ill. A little step 6 and 7 work.
  • for the incredible heart opening experiences I have had in recovery
  • for riding out those five minutes before the miracle happens
  • that today I have been given all I need--physically, spiritually and emotionally

Kindle my heart's flame with thy flame,
May thy light vanish darkness forever

LOL @ dAAve's comment. It's your right to moan and groan when you are sick. What the heck you think I've been doing?
