That short paragraph (from How It Works) was a stroke of inspiration, especially the phrase, “We are not saints.” It has eased thousands of new, half-convinced AA members past the fact that we were headed, under the guidance of the Steps, in the completely unfamiliar direction of spiritual perfection. ~from 24 Magazine, author unknown.

Today I am grateful...
- that today is full of my Higher Power's grace
- to walk amongst others on the same pathway to sobriety
- for creativity when stuck
- for more spontaneity in my life today
- that today I will do my best, that is all I can expect from myself and is all that is expected by my Higher Power
- that maybe I can give back today
We aren't bodies at all; who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness. ~Marianne Williamson

Last week I was asked to read 'How it Works' and when I got to the part..."we are not saints", except for me came flying out of my mouth!!! Everyone had a good laugh at that LOL. I guess that is one way I can give back, to share the laughter!
*HUGS*
