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

Make the world brighter today. Do it not because you should, but because you can. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
  • that working in the sun yesterday afternoon didn't kill me--but it sure wilted me
  • for friends that say 'thank you'
  • that this morning I will do my work at Lambda Center and then work with another alcoholic
  • that tonight is the Italian dinner and play to celebrate Lambda Center's 30th Anniversary
  • that it only takes a minimum effort to find joy

This I know...There is nothing, absolutely nothing, no circumstance, no trouble, no test, that can ever touch me, until first it comes past God. If it has come that far, it has great purpose. I may not understand at the moment, but as I refuse to panic, as I lift my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from God, as a blessing for my heart, no sorrow will disturb me, no trial will disarm me, no problem will cause me to fret, and absolutely nothing will make me drink. For I shall rest in the knowing and joy of my Higher Power. ~unknown
