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

09.11.07

Remember that whatever you may encounter is virtually insignificant when compared with what you choose to do with it. Always choose the best response, no matter what comes your way, and each day you'll rise a little higher than you were the day before. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
  • that So quit smoking two years ago today!!!!! Congratulations, Sister!
  • that my sponsor is back in town
  • that friends are God's way of taking care of me
  • for the satisfaction of living a sober life in recovery
  • that my relationship with my family of origin is drama free

The beautiful irony of recovery is that, in our surrender, we found the flexibility we had lost in our addiction, the very lack of which had defeated us. We regained the ability to bend in life's breeze without breaking. When the wind blew, we felt its loving caress against our skin, where once we would have hardened ourselves as if against the onrush of a storm. ~NA Just for Today

I have experienced feeling a breeze through my hair as a loving embrace. It is a wonderful thing.
