Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it within us or we will find it not. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I am grateful...
  • for the privilege of listening to another alcoholic's story and to be always reminded that there is a solution
  • for a long conversation with my old friend Curtis last night. Maude's passing has reminded me to stay in touch.
  • that I keep adding to my spiritual foundation. Prayer, meditation and contemplation give me strength.
  • that the program of AA has changed my thought process
  • for my second post on the NYC trip (see post below)

Forgiveness is all-powerful. Forgiveness heals all ills. ~Catherine Ponder
