Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind. ~Henry James
Today I am grateful...
- for a wonderfully told story of an alcoholic yesterday, with a lot of AlAnon thrown in
- that I am pretty convinced that I do better when not in a romantic relationship
- that a pearl comes from an irritating grain of sand
- that I can live with the disappointment of Humberto missing us completely, with no rain shed
- that every day prayer helps me deal with my entitlement issues
Rather than regretting that I wasted half of my life drinking, I am just grateful that God has given me the rare opportunity to live two lives in one lifetime. ~Unknown
You have let me sink down deep in desperate problems. But you will bring me back to life again, up from the depths of the earth! ~Psalms 71:20

Now that is something to think about.
So
Everything you write today is in my face and too painful to think about. But I choose to ride out the storm instead of wade to the nearest barstool.
Thank you Scott. I need these reminders CONSTANTLY. Thank you thank you thank you.
xo,
Gwen~
Dear Scott,
Boy, what a wonderful post today.
Thank you.
Thank you so much! What a great post.
Hola!
I never really stopped to consider the making of a pearl. That is beautiful.
No romance? Shucks! ;)

You share from the heart.
You live from the heart.
I bet one day,someone , the right one,will pull up a chair beside you will be sharing life from two hearts.Till then,You sound comfortable in your own skin and where you(a little Bunny too)are at today.Glad you didn't get flooded in that storm..phew.
xo
I need to know who "Angela" is. Romantic relationships have always brought out my worst side, just ask any of my husbands :)
Boy, do I hear that. I was so grateful to be able to enjoy not being in a relationship, to just create a great relationship with myself. And then I was grateful to eventually *want* to want to be in a healthy relationship, even though I didn't know what that would look like and I didn't want to be in a relationship ever again. I wanted to want to! And now I am very grateful for my nearly nine-month old relationship with another recovering person and the clarity and sanity within it. And today I can be super-grateful for the relationship-focused 12-step programs that got me here (Codependents Anonymous and COSA).
Thanks for the reminders ... "a pearl comes from an irritating grain of sand" ... yeah
I agree all the way around. Thanks.
Just wanted to ask Lisa how she lives two lives in one lifetime?
