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

three nine six

If you are not happy with what you have, what makes you think you would be happy with more? Happiness is not having what I want, but wanting what I have. ~Pocket Sponsor

Today I am grateful...
  • that whenever I get whiny I can stop and tell myself there is nothing to whine about, I have what I ask for daily
  • for Carol's story yesterday. Dramatic proof that Keep Coming Back is the single most important thing we hear in the rooms of AA. I am often amazed at other's stories, that the person sitting there seems nothing like what they describe themselves to have been in the past.
  • to strive for tolerance
  • for Trend Micro's free computer scan. It found some things my other anti-virus program didn't.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.--Leo Aikman (OUCH!!!)

We aren't bodies at all; who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.--Marianne Williamson

Some old crabby AA guy once said to me: If you don't appreciate what you have, you won't appreciate what you are about to get.
