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

Now take a look at what you care most about in this very moment. Those are the things you will give your energy and attention to, and those are the things that will surely happen for you.~Ralph Marsten

Today I am grateful...
  • that I called Reliant Energy about my current electric bill. The bill amount for 30 of the mildest days any January ever saw was $144! That is for 500 square feet and during that time rarely, if ever, used the heat or the air conditioner. The customer service rep had me take a self reading, calculated it and said that reading was lower than the reading the meter reader took. So they are going to do a 're-read'. But in the meantime I have to pay the entire amount. gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  • that tonight I am going to attend the Lambda Beginners AlAnon meeting. I need to make sure I am taking care of myself as I have a loved one likely headed for an emotional bottom.
  • that today is Mary's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAME!!!!!
  • for yesterday's great first step meeting. Who cannot benefit from remembering what it was like?
  • that today I am a day older but I am not deeper in debt

Have no fear, child, a voice whispers. Have no regrets. Relinquish your resentments. Let Me take your pain. All you have is the present moment. Be still. Be here. Trust. All you have is now. It is enough. ~TLLG

The girls next door to me got an electric bill for January that was $800. The previous bill was $140. Feel better.

Good for you regarding tonight. I believe (not sure) the beginner's meeting is combined now with the regular Al-Anon meeting.

Glad you made that phone call; hopefully some positive action will result.

thanks for your gratitude
