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

04.15.08 Namasté

The future is always beginning now. ~Mark Strand

Today I am grateful...
  • that I don't like Jello, but there is always room for prayer
  • that meditation radio lulls me into a meditation that sometimes is hard to leave
  • that everywhere I go, there I am
  • that I will try to keep my eye out for my self-entitlement today
  • that since all I have is this day, I do not have to worry about tomorrow
  • that love, freely given, nourishes my heart
  • that love, freely received, nourishes my soul
Look past the body, past the personality, past the behavior, into the window of one another's souls. There we make a connection. The God in me recognizes and honors the God in you. ~Mary Manin Morrissey

Crap! I just mailed you a jello salad. Just take it to a meeting when you get it.

I just noticed that I missed yesterday's post, so I'm going to take a look at it. Is that going to be past or future??? I'm so cornfused now.

Hi Scott: You can copy anything from my blog...I've been taught that there is nothing said in AA that hasn't been said before. And to think that the repetition used to drive me crazy when I was first in AA...even though I was incapable of retaining ANYTHING then. Now I realize how important it is to be continually reminded of the great gift of sobriety.
I often go for weeks without referring to AA but I have a cute post for tomorrow that you might enjoy.
Nice to have a new friend.

Scott I've so missed reading your beautiful posts! Finally catching up, it's been hell getting back in the groove of posting, much less getting outside myself long enough to read anyone else's.

Life is full, and that is good.

PS: I didn't know that typing the "M" letter on the keyboard while playing "Spider" would show you the moves you can make...but I did know that the same thing happens when I click on the little score box at the bottom of the game.

I really like the everywhere I go, there I am. To me, that says you cannot run nor from yourself. It took a long time, but I don't do that anymore. Your post reminded me of that. ;kl (Mamie just hit my elbow so those thre keys were from her)

Love freely given...is a freebie.
Nothing at all is wrong with jello, it must be you.

I'll take today and a bowl of cherry jello. Thanks!
