And who can penetrate the deeper mystery of our wholesale deliverance from slavery, a bondage to a most hopeless and fatal obsession which for centuries possessed the minds and bodies of men and women like ourselves? ~A.A. Comes Of Age

Today I am grateful...
  • for air conditioning on hot summer nights
  • to have not been bitten much surrounded by bazillion mosquitoes on Tiki yesterday. Seriously, when we got in the car it filled up with mosquitoes. They swarmed us like a plague. Nasty.
  • that I try to understand
  • for chicken cacciatore and risotto
  • that my Higher Power consciousness has improved dramatically
  • that having a sober life is more than I ever expected it to be

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment - or unlearning - of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. ~Marianne Williamson
