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

Wednesday Solutions

The solution may not give you everything you want. Sometimes, it may give you nothing but a chance to start all over again. But whatever little it gives you is much more than you give yourself by letting your emotions tear you apart. ~George S. Stevenson

Today I am grateful...
  • for the Big Book, meetings, the steps (especially prayer in step 11), other alcoholics and those who have gone before me. They all offer me the solutions I need.
  • for yesterday to spend with myself, getting me focused and letting the world just be outside
  • for my Higher Power's grace that lets me experience the blessings of today
  • for glimpses of what IS and what ISN'T
  • for purpose and satisfaction
  • for time spent in a quiet space and how richly textured my thoughts can be while there
  • that today I have more than enough
When the solution is simple, God is answering. ~Albert Einstein
Focus on the problem and the problem becomes larger. Focus on the solution and the solution becomes larger. It's my choice.
