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

One thing recovery teaches us, is that you can keep going long after you think you can't. This is because you are stronger than you think. You have the accumulated strength of millions of clean and sober Twelve-Step members to bolster you. ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
  • that I was fairly close to home last night when I had intestinal distress
  • that I finally located the wonderful tofu dish I had been craving and could not for the life of me remember in which restaurant I had it--turns out it is the Mongolian and it is at Pei Wei!
  • that I continued on when I realized the painting I was a third into has a warped stretcher bar. It will have to be restretched later.
  • that I hope Texas Art Supply is open today. I am out of Titanium White!
We believe that there isn't a fellowship on earth which devotes more care to its individual members; surely there is none which more jealously guards the individuals right to think, talk, and act as he wishes. No A.A. can compel another to do anything; nobody can be punished or expelled. ~As Bill Sees It

I'm thinking that last quotation should be read at some meetings I've attended. We seem to be getting a lot of refugees at our early meeting, and it distresses me when I hear there are meetings where people feel uncomfortable.

Aarrggh!!! Not the Titanium White! Any color but that one!

I certainly hope that Gratitude Items #1 & #2 were not in any way related.

I'll go see if I have some spare Titanium White.

Nope. I'm all out.

Sorry, Scott. I had some Titanium White, but I needed it for my pasta sauce. I'm making a white sauce for the first time.

I love pasta with Titanium White sauce. On my way over.

Oh My Gosh. I just guessed that was titanium white - before I read this post. I guess I still know my paint colors. Cadmium red. yellow ochre. ivory black. zinc yellow. hummmm, makes me want to paint.
