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

Live with a positive, enthusiastic and thankful frame of life. And within that empowering frame, you will create a masterpiece that grows more beautiful with each moment. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
  • that it is amusing to me when I wake in the morning not knowing what day it is. This morning I thought it was Sunday and Saturday morning I thought it was Sunday.
  • that this morning I dreamt of success
  • that life evolves if you let it
  • for freedom from worry. I do not worry nearly as much as I used to before my life changed due to the remarkable program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Peace of mind is better than gold and just as precious. But unlike gold, peace comes when we ask for it and let it happen - not when we go in search of it. We look for a time to be peaceful. But what may seem to be a waste of time can be just what we need - a spot of sunlight, soft breezes, the sound of locusts humming in the night. The little things calm us and bring us rest. But the best comes when we release our hold on little cares, the voices that tell us how bad things are in the world - and just let peace seep in. Nothing so becomes us as stillness and quiet serenity. Nothing so aptly furnishes the background music like sounds of nature, the mockingbird's midnight song that expands our boundaries and enchants our hearts. ~A Cherokee Feast of Days

I would like to wake up on a Monday and feel like it is a Saturday. It's been a long time since I felt that way.

I love today's post. I'm going to send it to Suzanne, because I think she would find it handy.

Hey, everybody! Scott told me that he wants to be called Dagmar today. But only today.
He really told me that. Honest! Would I lie to you? ;)

Here's to a beautiful, peaceful, sober day. I'm grateful you're a part of my sober life.

I find this so comforting. You've reminded me to find a nature sound radio station on the net. Sometimes all music irritates, but nature sounds are always soothing. It's nice to come to your blog and remember to be grateful. I found you through Bill in Richmond. And, since it's Queen's Day festivities here in Holland, I've felt like it was Sunday today too. Heck! Who knows! Maybe we're right and everyone else is wrong!!! Happy day, whatever is it.
