What will get you from here to there most quickly is total honesty--being willing to assert, acknowledge and declare exactly how you feel about a thing. Say your truth--kindly, but fully and completely. Live your truth, gently, but totally and consistently. Change your truth easily and quickly when your experience brings you new clarity. ~CwG
Today I am grateful...
- that R has directed me to ask questions of my surgeon that would never have occured to me
- for the sensitive writings of Bill H. "I heard a man say that sympathy will kill an alcoholic." When I read that a sob escaped.
- that my Higher Power has shared secrets with me
- that I have the choice to be whatever I want to be. Many "what I want to be"s.
- for lunch with Nagar, a Persian princess
The immediate object of our quest is sobriety--freedom from alcohol and from all its baleful consequences. Without this freedom, we have nothing at all. ~Bill W.

Why are you up so early? Good Morning Scott!
The quotation about total honesty speaks to me today, and I have placed it in my pocket near my heart. Today I need to be reminded of the power of prayer and meditation. As always, Scott, you will be included in my prayers.
I hope Bunny woke you up this morning and that nothings wrong.
Oh good grief, do we all know each others routines so well, that Scott W. being up early causes a stir? hee hee
Jeeeze I even know that your bladder is what usually gets you out of bed.
Have a great Thursday
I woke at 3AM and decided to stay up a while. I have pre-op early today.
I hope your pre-op goes well. I still don't believe that you're a lesbian. But I'm grateful that Lambda is a GLBT center.
"I heard a man say that sympathy will kill an alcoholic." Wow. Honesty with compassion could be a life saving approach.
May your visit go well.
thanks for the quote about honesty. i'm going to email/call you.
Scott,
Thank you for the honesty.
It is a gift to be reminded each and every day to be greatful for those litle gems that make our lives sparkle each day.
Good luck with the pre-op!
i believe in truth concepts and apply in my whole life.
