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

We don't really know the route to world peace, but we have learned that we must be at peace with ourselves and others in order to live happily. ~Walk in Dry Places
Today I am grateful...
  • that prayer and meditation time seem to have lifted the agitated feeling I woke with this morning
  • that last night I was able to make a stand regarding a matter with a loved one
  • that today I have the follow-up with the ENT regarding the CT scan
  • that we seem to have some cooler weather ahead, hopefully without a hurricane
  • that my life has purpose and momentum, filled with recovery and loved ones
We are addicts. We suffer from an illness. We go to Twelve Step meetings because we know who we are. We have a sponsor because we know who we are. We ask friends for support because we know who we are. We know why we need our Higher Power to guide us. Recovery is a spiritual journey. In this journey, we are followers, not guides. It's a journey that changes us. We don't know how recovery will change us, but we know it will. ~Keep It Simple

I like the Keep it Simple quote.
I must pass that along to a certain Trinidadian who doesn't understand how or why I have changed.
