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

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. - Epicurus

Today I am grateful...
  • that when I took a full seat in the rooms of AA my recovery finally started
  • that I have a lunch date scheduled for tomorrow
  • that Bill sent me the Beautiful Blogger Award
  • that I can put a negative or positive spin on just about anything
  • that I have a big responsibility to keep my attitude adjusted on the happy side
  • that when the message starts to seem blocked I probably need to be quiet
  • that today I will strive to do and be my best
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up. - Anne Lamott
The hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm. ~O. S. Marden

Responsibility IS powerful, isn't it? I'm glad we have the choice to be responsible.

Have a great day, Scott.

Hey funny...we both have lunch dates tomorrow and we both are taking responsibility for our own happiness today.
AND Bill and I both think you are a beautiful Blogger!
Life is just coincidences!

Where are you going for lunch? I'll meet you there. I just need to check flight schedules.

I love your quotes. I often only have time to pop on the blogosphere for a minute. I head right to your blog to read the latest - especially the quote.

I love your site and quotes. I especially like the reminder to be quiet.

Great news! A friend of mine who has been suffering is going to re-hab tomorrow. I am so grateful and happy for her.
