The road to recovery is always under construction. - Anonymous
Courage is knowing what not to fear. Courage is when you are humble out of honor, not out of shame or pride. ~Yahoo Answers
Today I am grateful...
- that this week I get to research courage, the principle behind the fourth step of AA
- for all those that had the courage to walk the path before me and be there when I walked in the door
- that I had the courage to change. It's been nonstop ever since: learn about myself, change a little, learn about myself, change a little more, and so on.
- that it is bright and sunny outside this morning and the birds are singing
- that surely someone can tell me why the cost of dairy products keeps skyrocketing!
IT GIVES MY SOUL COURAGE
it gives my soul courage
to know the impossible
is achievable
and i need
neither to be the strongest
nor the wisest
i need
only to be the best i can be

Thanks, Scott,
Great reminders. I shared your gratitude for the sound of birds heralding the cycle of nature this morning. Amidst the sounds of snowmelt dripping from the eaves, I could hear one lone bird singing outside my window as dawn broke.
No hangover. No fear of change. What a great place to be.
Courage!

I always look forward to the quotations you find.
Some days I feel like the Cowardly Lion. Only not as pretty.
I was shocked to see that plain old flour had tripled in price over what I paid in December when I wnt to the store last night. Sigh.
my guess..transportation costs - to move the dairy products in that is.
Sometimes I'm amazed at my own courage and other times, I just want to say to the world "HEY, I'm just a girl!"
Within the "program", I like it when someone with more years of sobriety than me says "My life sucks right now, I've thought about drinking, and this is what I did instead"...that's the kind of courage I need to hear-cause sometimes that's just where I am
Courage - a gift from God.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday, Scott!
Courage - that thing that just shows up and for us to face and get through what we think is the impossible.
If prices go up much more, we'll be shopping on the roof.
So, thanks for your help today.

I think that cows cost more than they did last year.
the dairy problem could be due to the problems associated with mad cow disease. it's a pretty rampant issue even tho you don't hear about it.
love that quotation for courage.
