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

It doesn't pay to argue with 'slippers' about the proper way of getting clean and sober. Why should people who are still drinking and drugging tell those who are sober why it can't be done! We learn not to get in a pissing contest with a skunk. (or should we say drunk!) ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
  • to watch human beings change right before my eyes
  • that So starts her radiation treatments today
  • that hopefully they won't get a fly mixed up in there, I would hate to have a fly for a sister
  • for the joy of YouTube
  • that there are some brilliant human minds out there
  • that today is what it is and it's all good
Almost without exception, alcoholics are tortured by loneliness. Even before our drinking got bad and people began to cut us off, nearly all of us suffered the feeling that we didn't quite belong. Either we were shy, and dared not draw near others, or we were noisy good fellows constantly craving attention and companionship, but rarely getting it. There was always that mysterious barrier we could neither surmount nor understand. That's one reason we loved alcohol too well. But even Bacchus betrayed us, we were finally struck down and left in terrified isolation. ~As Bill Sees It

The last quote from As Bill Sees It has always been a sad one for me. It makes me realize how the alcoholic and I are similar--both lonely and not quite belonging.

I don't want to be a fly either! Sometimes I would like to be a fly on the wall but most times I like being me. :)

I like that today is what it is.
I also like that I have a lot of control over how I view, and react to the events in it. I love the passing of day to night and back again. It's so dependable.
You've crossed my mind alot today mi amigo...I don't know why.
