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

Wednesday, February 22, 2006

In every A.A. story, pain has been the price of admission into a new life. But this admission price purchased more than we expected. It led us to a measure of humility, which we soon discovered to be a healer of pain. We began to fear pain less, and desire humility more than ever.~12 and 12 p. 75

Today I am grateful...
  • that Dave found the Willie Nelson cowboy song
  • for the beautiful Buddha amulet from Beau
  • that I am willing to be responsible for my actions today
  • for Lambda AlAnon
  • for the generous gift of books from Don K
  • that I find this disturbing
The Steps protect me from myself; the Traditions protect AA from me. ~Unknown

What was disturbing about the website? Maybe I didn't look long enough.
