Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. --Seneca
Today I am grateful...
- that yesterday's work was canceled at the last minute, but it gave me a chance to wander through the Museum of Fine Arts virtually alone, most of the galleries were completely empty. There is a certain calm about museums that is very satisfying.
- that my Higher Power has taught me how to live in a not too fussy way and I am happy with simplicity
- that I am not attracted to drama
- that there are things I understand and things I don't understand, and that's the way it's supposed to be
- that there are those, like you, who travel with me and there are even those who just observe
As a recovering alcoholic I belong to a minority. As somebody with the disease of addiction I am aware of my difference. And I have experienced prejudice and injustice because I was not born like other people.
But in a spiritual sense the acceptance of my disease has given me a freedom that united me with other minorities, other "different" groups, the countless shades of humanity. My disease has produced a spiritual unity and bond with creation that makes me rejoice in my difference and produces a tolerance of others that was not there before. In this sense I thank God for my dis-ease. ~Fr Leo

You really ARE a minority. In a gay sort of way.
I used to be a drama magnet. I still love drama when it is in no way attached to me. I would rather watch drama unfold thru my Bushnells. Well drama...and sometimes nudity.
Love the quotation from Fr Leo.
And I'm glad you ain't fussy. Bofus purty down-to-urf fer two kweer mens.
Hey, I wasn't up at 5 AM. I just used the little thingy you taught me las year.
