One of the first things we learn about in recovery is time. Before, we may have tried to control time by pushing it along. We tried to hurry everything and everybody. We wanted our "quick fix." But the program tells us to slow down. Easy Does It. ~Keep It Simple
.
Today I am grateful...
- that I still believe in magic
- for the willingness to do the work, that is God doing for me what I could not do for myself
- that recovery brings out human-ness
- that with sobriety I have hope
- that I still have the desire to post every day. So many have fallen to the wayside, or post infrequently--so many so that I have less and less to keep up with. Sad.
When we were small, we dreamed a thousand dreams about what could happen in our lives. Anything, even magical things, seemed like they could happen, and our world was full of visions. That part of us that believes wonderful, magical things can happen is still in us. It may have been beaten down for a while, but it is still there waiting to help us seek the wonderful, lovely, and good things in life. ~Today's Gift

blogging is not for wimps.
but...there is a host of new bloggers out there...taking breaks (?). good grief. commit or don't.
Is this a blog?
How do I comment?
Hi So! I'll be back to posting more after today....I hope.
So glad we are sharing this little row boat...
I came looking for a strange picture, but the quotes were good.
I believe in magic, too
I reads 'em if they are there. If not, maybe tomorrow. I certainly can't say anything about blogging breaks. Sometimes that 5 - 10 minutes is just too much to handle.
My sobriety comes first. Posting on my blog comes somewhere after that. I don't have an "it's my way or the highway" attitude about blogging. I'm just grateful when people have time to catch up with everyone.
But I did post today about my visit to Bill Wilson's birthplace and gravesite! Pictures I took are included, plus a link to the B&B that now operates at the inn where he was born. Drop by for a cup of coffee.
I like the quotation about time. In my yoga class this morning the instructor repeated that in yoga "the slower you go, the faster you make progress." Just another one of those paradoxes I'm learning these days.
Sorry, I don't get it...are you trying to say there is something wrong with NOT posting a blog every day?
Actually, I thought some might be relieved to have steveroni OFF for awhile--grin!
If you think I am passing judgement on anyone that does not post daily you are mistaken.
Everyday I wake up and expect magic. Some days I'm disappointed and some days I have to look a little harder. But the day that I stop looking and expecting, I might as well just stay in bed.
i still believe in magic too, and dang it the song just popped into mah head.
