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

Brothers should not be like the scales of a balance, the one rising upon the other's sinking; but rather like numbers in arithmetic, the lesser and greater mutually helping and improving each other. –Plutarch
Today I am grateful...
  • that I am on the principle behind Step 8: Brotherly Love
  • for hopes of practicing that principle in all my affairs
  • that I try to not be a Negative Nancy
  • that today I have a follow-up with the ENT doctor
  • that I am fiscally responsible

...you can’t lose in this game. You can’t go wrong. It’s not part of the plan. There’s no way not to get where you are going. There’s no way to miss your destination. If God is your target, you’re in luck, because God is so big, you can’t miss. ~Conversations with God

Hey, we did it again. Our CWG meditations. Great Minds. HA.

I like the idea of mutually helping but sometimes I over do that. I have to be careful, very careful not to overdo. Because then it is like the scales and I get out of balance.

A "Negative Nancy"?

That must be Texas slang....

Frank Barone called his son Raymond a "Nancy" several times on Everybody Loves Raymond. And they lived on Long Island.

Well, I never knew that because I do not love Raymond.

Negative Nancy! Har! Can't type. Tears of laughter falling on keyboard. Sometimes I wish I weren't so visual.

I do love Raymond.
Be glad it's not nasty Nancy.
Todd is blogging today.
Waiting to hear what the ENT said.

Thanks for the reminder of living the principles in all of our affairs. I forget this sometimes.

Let's talk about collaborating on a Negative Nancy Drew Mystery Series. Nancy will suspect everyone, think the worst of them, and then give up on solving the mystery because she gets overwhelmed. Have your agent call my agent.

I was musing to myself the other day on your fistular responsibility.

i am becoming more and more fiscally responsible, and that feels good.

You could never be a Negative Nancy Scott! Good luck with the ENT specialist.
