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

We always strive to do our best, because when we do we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed to the best of our ability. This allows us to feel great personal satisfaction in all of our efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome. ~DailyOm
Today I am grateful...
  • for the Dr visit yesterday and the dermatologist referral
  • that I made it through a hectic afternoon
  • for the language of recovery. To sit with another alcoholic in recovery and understand what they are saying, is, to me, remarkable.
  • for Yahoo Instant Messenger so So and I can so easily keep in touch--for free!
  • that I am open to an intimate relationship
If you've taken steps to make amends and clear away your legitimate guilt, and your guilt is still haunting your every move, try this. First thing in the morning and last thing in the evening, look in your mirror. Look yourself in the eye. Then say out loud seven times, "I now release all my guilt, earned and unearned." Try this for a week. See if your guilt doesn't disappear. ~The Language of Letting Go

Recovery in AA and Al-Alon is a remarkable process. If you are willing to work the program, it does work.

Wait. What? said...

Very Zen like - I will try it!

I love the way you sort of snuck the "open to an intimate relationship" in there...'cause I think that's HUGE, and I'm very happy to hear that!

MC, she and I both wish we could remember where we got that nickname for each other. I have a good memory but am stumped on this matter.

In the 80s I added to her's and she bacame So B. Devo. But she's always just been my sister, So.
