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

Cool Fall Friday

But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things. ~Vincent van Gogh
Today I am grateful...
  • that although I woke at 3:00 AM I was able to return to sleep an hour and a half later. During that time I got to chat with our Dave and an old friend in Las Vegas and watch a lot of videos on YouTube
  • that I was able to replace the little fencing I got to keep Bunny out of the bird seed, but not until after he had eaten a large amount and left the deposits on the bathroom floor
  • that I got to hump Dave's new car a little bit with no damage to either of us
  • for a noon meeting yesterday that turned powerful when a member told us of his return from a relapse and his sharing of his experience of the pain allowed us to rally around him
  • for everyone that returns after relapsing (myself included) that gives others strength to stay grounded in their program
  • that in fifteen days I will celebrate my last return from relapse three years ago
I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits, and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds. ~Quentin Crisp

What an awesome quote by Vincent! He is one of my favorites. How true that quote is.

Humping is good, and since Dave's car is new I don't think it's considered 13th stepping (since it's a car and all)...
