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

To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. ~Will Durant
Today I am grateful...
  • for a higher power that lifted my face to the light so I could grab onto it
  • for faith and sustenance
  • for the still and quiet of my little place
  • for alertness so I can spot tiny changes
  • for a Sunday of rest, relaxation and satisfaction
  • to have my cup of grace overflowing
Today I am an alcoholic. Tomorrow will be no different. My alcoholism lives within me now and forever. I must never forget what I am. Alcohol will surely kill me if I fail to recognize and acknowledge my disease on a daily basis. I am not playing a game in which a loss is a temporary setback. I am dealing with my disease, for which there is no cure, only daily acceptance and vigilance. ~Daily Reflections

Dear Scott,

Spill some of that Grace over here, please.

Good morning ! It's a fine September morning, yes?

It's good to be peaceful and hopeful about the day.

I love you.
