Pride lures us into making demands upon ourselves or upon others which cannot be met without perverting or misusing our God-given instincts. ~12 & 12
Today I am grateful...
- for late Christmas presents, Boston gave me A Year with Rumi. Daily readings from the thirteenth century Persian mystic. Thanks, Boston.
- for Jim's home cooking, which I have missed since he was out of town for New Years. Last night was beef stew with homemade wide noodles.
- for the washer and dryer right behind me
- for the woman in the meeting yesterday who after having 17 years sobriety, drank for 3 and how has 2 months. That shit keeps it real.
- for the new and imporved spellcheck on Blogger. Now, if Blogger would only REMEMBER ME!!!
I used to be shy. You made me sing. ~Rumi
I will be renewed. I will be remade. In this, I need God's help. His spirit shall flow through me and, in flowing through me, it shall sweep away all the bitter past. I will take heart. The way will open for me. Each day will unfold something good, as long as I am trying to live the way I believe God wants me to live. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

"...for the woman in the meeting yesterday who after having 17 years sobriety, drank for 3 and how has 2 months. That shit keeps it real."
Yes, it does. Thanks for sharing this, and for that awesome quote from Twenty-Four Hours a Day.
I love the line about Godd's spirit flowing "through" us...coming in and going out...we have to give it away to keep it. Thanks Scott
