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

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets. ~Paul Tournier

Today I am grateful...

  • for things that make me go hmmmmmmm
  • for an old friend contacting me through this blog
  • for every story out there, told or untold, that weaves the fabric of our fellowship
  • for round pegs fitting into round holes, no more square pegs that fit nowhere
  • for the luxuries of loving friends


The longer we reserve pieces of our lives to be ruled by self-will and the more vigorously we defend our "right" to hold onto them, the more damage we do. Gradually, the unsurrendered territories of our lives tend to expand, taking more and more ground. ~NA Just for Today

The NA quote is so true. After I got sober I still hung on. First it was money and I never thought I would be able to surrender that. But when I did start to surrender, then sex came up (no pun intended) as an issue

Very cool to hear from an old friend via your blog.

To your hmmmmm, my daughter mimics my "very interesting" quite often when I am unsure on how to answer a person.
