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

04.12.07

Those who are awake live in a state of constant amazement. ~Buddha
Today I am grateful...
  • that someone pointed out that gratitude was misspelled in my previous banner, which I then corrected
  • that yesterday at lunch I got to sit across from someone struggling to stay sober, who reluctantly picked up a 30 day chip and that she keeps coming back
  • to have wandered around the Decorative Center yesterday with RW and got to visit with old colleagues
  • for where my Higher Power has put me today
  • that I am sober today and can enjoy the love in my life
My drinking had so isolated me that it was as if I was in a cave. And my family, over the years, and my wife in particular, had stood outside that cave asking me to come out, and I couldn't find my way out. Finally Ebby showed up outside the cave, and after being captive in a similar cave, he entered mine - he knew the way - and he took me by the hand and led me out. One cave-dweller helping another. And I knew that's what I wanted to do; I wanted to help other people like myself. ~Bill W.

I am going to congratulate myself on NOT telling you that graitude was misspelled before. I bit my tongue - or my typing fingers on that.
Love the new font!
