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

Some things separate you from God--a false word, a fear-inspired failure, a harsh criticism, a stubborn resentment. These are the things that put a distance between your mind and God. A word of love, a selfless reconciliation, a kind act of helpfulness--these bring God closer. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Today I am grateful...
  • that it is Dennis R's natal birthday
  • that tomorrow is Dennis C's natal birthday
  • that I have two Dennises in my life
  • for the ebb and flow of life and with it, contentment
  • that some days the veil of illusion gets so thin I can get glimpses of the way things really are
  • for the Wizard of Oz noon meeting yesterday. Tres gay!
  • that I am waiting for the combined topic of Judy Garland and Barbra Striesand. LOL!

Our spiritual task is to become less rigid in our attachments and more accepting of the flow of life. ~Touchstones

I never could stand the ebb and flow of life until I got sober.

I got to admit I've the ebb and flow thing makes me want to throw up.
I see you,

What is the plural of 'Dennis'? Denni ('Deny'?).

What is a "Wizard of Oz" meeting, please?

Somehow he related Dorothy and friends into the subject of relationships, the mean witch trying to get her way, then we had to do the 'Oh my!" thing in unison. It was weird really.

Recovery Road London said...

Lol.

I can do "Oh my!". And a lot weirder too.
