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

05.03.07

When you can find joy where there is nothing, you can find joy in anything. Place no conditions on happiness, and it is always yours.
Today I am grateful...
  • for yesterday's AA high. Working with a newcomer, going over sponsorship, leading a speaker meeting--all these left me soaring through the recovery stratosphere.
  • that my Higher Power has shown me some secret stuff
  • that my ego got smacked around enough for me to be able to get into recovery
  • to be able to sit and marvel at my life today
  • that I have a sense of humor, can laugh at myself and with you
Embrace the uncertainty of the future, for within that uncertainty is limitless, fertile ground for creating beauty, joy and fulfillment. When you no longer need security, you will indeed have it. Accept that you do not know, and there is no limit to what you can learn. Let go of the need to possess, and there is no end to what you can have. ~today's quotes from Ralph Marston

aren't our personal changes in AA just incredible? I love to sit and marvel at my life too!

I hope the "at you" part...was for me. I like to make others' blogs about ME.

I know that high. I'm having it too, but calling it my Serenity Zone. Please remind me, when I lose that feeling, what it was like.
