The simple act of intentionally deciding upon a destination will point you solidly in that direction. A small adjustment in your attitude can make a major difference in your world. Anything is possible. What actually happens in your life is an accurate reflection of how you see yourself living it. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
- for yesterday's first step meeting, the rallying around the newcomer, the thunderous applause as she picked up a desire chip and for the two turning in wet ones for dry ones
- to see alcoholics at their best
- that my sister didn't get the alcoholic gene. Someone up there has to be level headed!
- that our rescue pup is filling out and is running around the back yard. She loves to play fetch.
- that I was asked to be a paid contributor to a recovery website, but it is hard enough maintaining this daily posting. Some days I just don't want to write. But I made a commitment a long time ago and am trudging onward.
Try never to judge. The human mind is so delicate and so complete that only its Maker can know it wholly. Each mind is so different, actuated by such different motives, controlled by such different circumstance, influenced by such different sufferings, you cannot know all the influences that have gone to make up a personality. Therefore, it is impossible for you to judge wholly that personality. Leave to God the unraveling of the puzzles of personality. And leave it to God to teach you the proper understanding. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

That's a wonderful insight about being judgemental.
I am so glad the pup is doing well. I hope Mary decides to keep her! Great playmate for Bunny.
Thanks for the Marston quote. Reminds me of something I used to drill into students on the racetrack: You go where your eyes go.
I always find peace at your site. I love the 24 hour quote. Oh and hi there Posse Member.
I was offered the chance to write for a recovery site... but I couldn't figure out how that would be OK with the traditions, so I didn't do it.
Never judge--what good advice. I try for acceptance instead.
Love the last two paintings! I clicked the button in the sky....out of habit-clicking buttons on the screen-waiting for the clouds to sing and dance or something.
It's hard not to judge, I'm trying too.
I am grateful for your daily postings.
