Most of your fears would disappear if you would simply decide to walk right up to them. Fear has only the power you give it. Your fears can intimidate you or they can illuminate you. The choice is entirely up to you. Your fears can stop you or they can prepare you. And you get to decide which it will be. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
- for bright and shiny keys to the kingdom
- that a loved one's email lets me breathe easier for her
- that I protect my serenity only second to my sobriety
- that this morning I said my morning prayers. And I included you.
What happens to our feelings when we sit still? If they don't get expressed, they must be caught inside our bodies. Trapped feelings are like birds in a cage, or a rabbit in a trap--they try to get out any way they can. They peck on our heads and give us headaches. They scratch at our stomachs and make us hurt. We must let them out. We must laugh and cry. Then our bodies will be happy, and our feelings will curl up in our laps like happy puppies. ~Today's Gift

Thanks for including me in your prayers.... :)
Now I know why my morning has been going so well...Scott's prayers.
Love you
I was wondering why today is so extra special? I guess somebody must be praying for me and I thank you, Scott W, from the bottom of my heart for including me in your prayers.
You rock Scott!
I totally agree with facing my fears and sharing the 'stuff', it has worked for me and sometimes even helps those who hear us sharing. Blessings to you my friend
...and HUGS too!
You are a jewel. You don't know how much your "HI" on IM last night meant. It was perfect timeing and I call such things God Shots. And thanks for the prayer on my behalf - YOU ARE A LOVE!
Wow. Thanks for the prayers. That is a wonderful and powerful thing. Thanks.
love the morning prayers! I pray for you too, my friend! I love that I can walk right up to my fears, hand in hand with HP to face them, work through them and live to fight them another day!
Great post Scott!
