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

Do what makes you happiest. Look upon what gives you joy. Speak to those who warm your heart. Listen to that which lifts your spirit. Surround yourself with sights and sounds and people who give you pleasure. For all the happiness you give to others all year long, give yourself the perfect day. ~May You Be Blessed

Today I am grateful...

  • for the healthy foods I ate yesterday
  • that Starne's BBQ back home did not burn up despite my sister's hateful attempt to make me believe it
  • for yesterday's speaker who entranced us with her serenity and love for the program of Alcoholics Anonymous
  • that I am madly in love with my life at this moment
  • that I feel I am making strides in my life program

Sitting at a meeting and sharing how much you love everyone in the room is meaningless if you fail to help cleanup, talk to the newcomer, inquire after the old-timer, and make sure everyone has a ride home. My well done is better than my well said. ~Pocket Sponsor

Alcohol is a great remover. It removes stains, inhibitions, worries, jobs, families, freedom, choices, dignity, livers, -- and lives. ~Anonymous

Hey Haven't stopped by or really blogged in a while. Looks like from my counter I'll be hitting the big 200 in a bout a week. I can't express how much that your blog and a few others helped me in those first few days of chaos in my head. I haven't been going to AA regularly but I got over a half a year under my belt and need to find the time to make it a priority. It's hard with everything else going on. But thanks for sharing everything I can't explain how much it has helped me personally and every bit I read makes me look at my life and helps me see things diffrently and helps me to improve.

Thankyou!
Chris Blankenship
