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

pup
This is the young dog Mary rescued from the street yesterday. She stayed overnight in the side pen. We hope to find a home for her soon.
Today I am grateful...
  • for Mary's compassion and those that rescue animals
  • that DS and I had lunch in a British pub, The Red Lion. Fish and chips, diet Coke and iced tea. Sitting at the bar were older men drinking their lunch, mostly beer. And one older lady nursing a cocktail. That part really creeped me out.
  • that I took the night off last night and painted
  • that a lot of the time I can disassociate myself from the world's craziness
  • for all the miracles in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous

The less you need, the more you have. When you need nothing, you have it all. What you grab from others will be of no use to you. It is the value you're able to provide to others that creates enduring wealth. You can be wealthy this very moment. For when you sincerely see yourself as wealthy, you truly are.
Look within yourself and discover the true wealth that is unique to you. And find real joy in building upon that wealth, day after day. ~Ralph Marston

If I hadn't gotten sober....I would be the older lady drinking in a pub, creeping people out. I'd think that I was looking hot though. I'd wink big time at you !!! and lick my lips in that creepy way.
