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

Birds sing after a storm, why shouldn't we? ~Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

Today I am grateful...
  • for yet another first step meeting at noon yesterday, and three more desire chips found their way into an alcoholic's pocket

  • that yesterday's peaceful uneasiness was just that--and it passed

  • that I attended my first meeting for another spiritual reconditioning. In hopes of addressing my warped relationship with food.

  • to feel so much better just having taken action. Being in the solution is so much more satisfying than being in the problem.
There is more to life than increasing its speed. --Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

If you've survived a tempest, why not burst into song?

Most musicals annoyed me as a child when people would burst into song. I'd sit there all grumpy and impatient, thinking "Yeah, sure, everyone - even strangers on the street - suddenly know the words to this danged song."

Disliking musicals is one of my character defects when it comes to being a proper gay man.

Can I play some Rollins Band or maybe some Motorhead? Okay - how about Faure's Requiem? My fave piece of music of all time...

I burst into song ALL THE TIME, at home, on the street, in the bank. I do try to keep the choreography down to a minimum though, because that's just weird in public.
I know about that ahhhh feeling when you get into a solution.

I would rather be part of the positive than the negative. But I've learned from all my problems. They've taught me as much as the solutions in some ways.

I would have sworn I left a message around noon. Guess I did not Hit Publish. Any way good for you. The 12 & 12 work in so many ways.
