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

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died. ~Erma Bombeck
.
Today I am entirely grateful...
  • to be sober and I thanked my Higher Power for keeping me that way for today
  • for last night's first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race where 9 drag queens are competing for America's next top DQ. It was fierce! LOL! See RuPaul's picture above.
  • that my super sneezing attacks I was having last night seem to have subsided
  • that I have a routine follow-up appointment with my GP today
  • that I have the chance to do today better than I did yesterday
Many of us have lived too much for ourselves and by ourselves. It is our egocentricity which has been our undoing. We have accepted no authority higher than our own whim and impulse, and we have been angry and depressed when people and events did not follow our preferences. Eating was an area in which we exerted our omnipotence, and appetite was our god. ~Food for Thought

Take a good look at your doctor's plants when you're in the waiting room.

Prefab Sprout does a nice song called Appetite.

I used to think doing it all alone, surviving was enough. Then I realized I was still alone and you don't surive something unless you have overcome it. Great gratitudes today. (Hugs)Indigo

I'm feeling hurt that you knew about a DQ competition and did not tell me.
You know I love that shit!
I don't know if I get LOGO, I'll check when I get home.

I didn't watch TV last night.

Boy the quote about egocentricity woke me up. My whim and impulse have been in the way for many years.
