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

You do not live each day to discover what it holds for you, but to create it. You are creating your reality every minute, probably without knowing it.~Meditations from Conversations with God
Today I am grateful...
  • for nasal spray Nostrilla, because my nasal is stopped up shut
  • for my new meditation book that came in the mail yesterday with a new CD and a new DVD
  • that yesterday my intestines were irritable and I was just in general off my game. So I was recognizing of those facts and kept quiet all day. Today I seem to be a bit better and I know this too shall pass.
  • for this morning's dream right before I woke to start my day. I was home in Paducah, KY at a restaurant, eating, then paying the bill. Afterwards I went downstairs and there were several young people sitting around and I just knew they were alcoholics. I went outside and there were more people sitting around. I leaned over and asked a woman if she knew where there might be a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, and she said 'Right here!' So I took a seat at a picnic table and the meeting started. I wanted to raise my hand as a visitor but they didn't ask. People shared here and there, then the chairperson looked at me and said 'Anyone from Houston?' So I introduced myself and this group of young women waved at me and they had some other odd rituals (which I have already forgotten). That was the point where I woke.
  • that I have already hit one meeting today (see above) and will hit the nooner where I will, hopefully, see Negar and her new baby, Johnny.
There is a guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word… Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which flows into your life. Then, without effort, you are impelled to truth and perfect contentment. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had a really weird epic dream that woke me up last night, and I swore I would remember it, but - of course - I don't. Dammit.

Every time you mention Nostrilla I picture a b-grade Japanese sci-fi movie called Godzilla vs. Nostrilla. I just can't figure out what Nostrilla would look like.

I wish you had stayed around long enough to see if they gave chips, since it was a dream...they might have been Doritos

I'm waving at you, but not from Paducah.

as a dream interpreter, i would say that dream means that subconsciously, you want to lead a meeting because you think someone else is doing it wrong... ever been to the website that interprets dreams... i went once but don't remember where it was...
