If we were rattling down a rough river, we would try to steer away from whirlpools and rocky rapids. Living each day requires the same alertness.
Today I am grateful...
- that yesterday morning I spent three hours trying to figure out the deposit at TLC. I never did figure it out, but I was able to walk away from it knowing it will be there later just waiting for me. Sound familiar?
- that I was able to be useful, along with another alcoholic, in the practice of the 12th Step
- that today is full of grace
- for each brick that has been removed from the Great Wall of Scott
- that I have not been in a bar since 1998
- that there is no substitute for contentment these days
Borrowing an idea from one Twelve Step program, we can detach from such people with love, even if circumstances require continuing contact with them. At whatever cost, we must avoid emotional whirlpools and rocky rapids in life. ~today's quotes from Walk in Dry Places

Scott, at this moment, on Sunday morning I believe in your last line more than anything else in the world.
"that there is no substitute for contentment these days"
I need me some!!
Of late, much has been going through my head in the way of gratitude for all that I've left behind. Perhaps I'll post about it. Until then...thank you for a great post.
