...you can’t lose in this game. You can’t go wrong. It’s not part of the plan. There’s no way not to get where you are going. There’s no way to miss your destination. If God is your target, you’re in luck, because God is so big, you can’t miss. ~Conversations with God
Today I am grateful...
- that I figured out early in my recovery to guard my serenity second only to my sobriety
- that I figured out how to enlarge the post section of my blog as to allow for larger pictures
- that yesterday morning I spent a lot of time perusing the AA literature for a topic. Not obsessing, just looking. And I read a lot. I decided on 'serenity' and a reading from Living Sober. It wasn't a lot to read and I had chosen to leave out one paragraph. When I led my first meeting, beforehand, I went to a quiet place to pray that my Higher Power work through me to lead the meeting and I have continued to do the same before any meeting I lead. I have been told that God leads the meetings. I would just be the vehicle. Then when it was time to read that little chapter God stepped in and had me read only the last paragraph. It was like my eyes were physically moved to read only that paragraph. There was no thought behind it. It was amazing. It was perfect. The rest would have just been superfluous. It was a great meeting.
- that God doesn't do to me or for me, but only shines through me. I have to thank Leslie J (you've seen him on TV) for that fantastic visual.
Being miserable can be very dramatic, complicated and sophisticated. It can make you appear quite impressive to other people.
Being happy, on the other hand, is an expression of simplicity and freedom and joy. Chances are, others could be suspicious or resentful. ~Ralph Marston

Oh how I love that quote!!!
I feel joyous....most of the time. I've been told that I must be in denial :)
It is very, very hard to miss God. Although I managed it for a while.
I heard things were serene yesterday.

yes I used to "think" I got alot of mileage out of my misery and drama. Now I realize how often I must have been tiresome and inmature, refusing to just let go, sucking all of the energy out of life.
Scott, I've put a post on my blog re the HNT problem, as I'm not sure how to sort it out or contact blogger!!
And you shine so bright I need some shades to calm the brightness from my eyes!
I love to read about your journey. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool thanks scott for the link

Thank you for sharing, Scott W. I know it's very, very hard to miss God but as the wise old men said, "to err is human..."
