Life is too short to spend it miserable. An excellent way to abate misery is to look at what you are blessed with. Unclench your angry fist, hold it up, and use your fingers to name five things you are grateful for. (P.S. we mean now!) ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
- for those that celebrated their birthdays last night and those who are sober today
- that I belong--in quite a few places
- that it seems what's going on with my head is allergies, either way it's uncomfortable
What we are always carries a stronger message than what we say. This is why we're sometimes turned off by people who seek to overwhelm us with charm. It's also why we can sometimes be drawn to people who are quiet and unassuming. However it works, there is a powerful message in one's unspoken thoughts and feelings. We can usually sense, for example, the mood of people in a room, even when little is being said. If we spend any time with others, they will soon know much about us even if we say little. This silent communication may be the great secret of AA's success in reaching those who still suffer. If we are living sober and want to help others, that's the message we give out. That's also a form of carrying the message. I'll communicate today by maintaining a warm and friendly attitude toward every person I meet, knowing that thoughts and feelings speak louder than words. ~Walk In Dry Places

great clock, i was mesmerized!
Good post. Your opening paragraph is always one I look forward to reading the most.
I'm having a good eye day - is the clock thing trippy/hard on my poor baby blues?
Have a good week. :-)
That clock thing is amazing.
Sounds like a beautiful night last night for DAAve...
Scott, I'm glad you (and others) found that world clock to be as interesting as I did when a friend sent it to me. She always finds great stuff. Another friend recommended a site: StumbleUpon.com. It's a sort of clearing house for web sites that others liked and recommended. You may find it worth a peek. Thanks for your blog; it's one of the first things I look at each day for inspiration!
It sounds like it was a wonderful night last night - even without me!
allergies be DAMNED! (hopefully, that'll scare 'em off :)
and that world clock is awesome!
