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

10.12.06

We live easily with others when we offer what we know, admit what we don't, and seek to learn from our peers. We live securely in ourselves when we cease relying on our own power and start relying on the God we've come to understand in recovery. We don't have to be "right" all the time, just recovering. ~NA Just for Today

Today I am grateful…

  • that we are closer to answers as to why Randall had this episode
  • for the most excellent dinner at Pic. It’s called Pic. with a period after it. They had just started their fall menu. We shared a vegetable terrine over greens, then both of us had the Flat Iron steak over green beans and some of the best frites ever served a human being. Jim had a blueberry Napoleon, I can’t have blueberries, they have these tiny seeds.
  • for Project Runway. Does Jeffrey get booted because he solicited outside stream stresses?
  • that a prayer a day keeps the Boogie Man away
  • that Bob S reads my blog daily
  • that I can write this in MS Word and post it later since Blogger is completely down

Am I still on a "free ride" in A.A.? Am I all get and no give? Do I go to meetings and always sit in the back row and let others do all the work? Do I think it's enough just because I'm sober and can rest on my laurels? If so, I haven't gone very far in the program, nor am I getting nearly enough of what it has to offer. I will be a weak member until I get in there and help carry the load. I must eventually get off the bench and get into the game. I'm not just a spectator; I'm supposed to be one of the team. Do I go in there and carry the ball? ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

That is good news about Randall. The support you have given and still are is wonderful.


I have DL each episode of PR to my iTunes library. I have Season 2 as well, love it! And Jeffery, the boy is talented but his perception on things seems to be very ill. I think we are set up to think he is getting booted off, but he will be there next week.

You need to keep my updated on Project Runway because I haven't been able to catch the last few shows. Does he?
I see you,

That restaurant sounds wonderful, next time I am in Htown, I will have to try it.

I am pulling for Michael to win. I am not overly fond of Jeffery's attitudes at times, while his design can be really kool. I just don't really like how he treats others, and the face he gives to recovering people. I hope that people don't generealize recovering addicts when they see Jeffery. Ulli's designs are pretty groofy too! I really dig that show! And if he sis get outside help, he ought to be booted!
