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

Resentment, anger, or a desire to see someone punished, are things that rot my soul. Such things fasten my troubles to me with chains. They tie me to other problems that have nothing to do with my original problem. ~Daily Reflections
Today I am grateful...
  • that I can chase away those tremors of doubt with a bucket of faith
  • for mute buttons. Now why can't somebody make one that shuts people up?
  • that my experience of AA at Lambda Center is probably as close to the Utopia I always wanted to find
  • that my spirituality only got dusty all those years it sat on the shelf
  • that my program of AA puts a nice shine on my old spirituality, nurtures it and lets it grow
Now and then I like to lift my eyes up from the details of daily life and remember the bigger picture, and take a breath of God, and feel and remember that ultimately, it's all okay. ~Dan Millman
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings. ~Helen Keller

Did you clicked on the mute button, Scott W? I've been talking for the passed 15 mins, you ignored me by reading the Daily Reflections over and over again!

I'm happy you have a great art day with Matt.

it's wonderful that we can simply dust off our spirit and our relationship with HP, no matter how far we've moved away from HP!

i'm with you on this one:
"for mute buttons. Now why can't somebody make one that shuts people up?"

specially since it's usually me that needs to be shutting up :)
