Being good to yourself is not selfish. Because the more fulfillment you experience, the more value you have to give to others. Have fun with what you have and enjoy where you are. Life's great abundance is yours when you can truly feel that it's there. ~Ralph Marston

Today I am entirely grateful...
- for an alcoholics story yesterday told from the spiritual lessons side of things
- that last night I consulted The Gay CPA. It amazes me that you can do all your income tax stuff online.
- that the program usually works me in a soft, gentle way, revealing things when I need them
- that DS gave me some horseradish white cheddar cheese and it is DELICIOUS!
- that prolonged practice of gratitude actually helps fend off little doubtisms
We sometimes say things to ourselves like 'I should have done this, I should have done that.' We can should ourselves into deep and scaring guilt over what we did in addiction. Regardless of the playlets running in our heads, we are not in a position to take over our Higher Power's position of overseeing life. No matter how long I have been on earth or how intelligent and experienced I am, I will never rise above the level of human being. ~Reflections for Beginners

You have no idea how great white cheddar chees and horseradish sounds right now!
Well duh...Gay CPA's of course!
I used to should all over myself. I work at not doing that anymore.
I'm with Syd on this. I used to shoulda, coulda, woulda myself to death. I'm working hard on getting those words out of my vocabulary!
And Gay CPA....who would have ever thought! Such cleverness out there.
Hey Syd,
I'm so with you on the "I should-isms". I'm a master at that, but am slowly moving away from it.
doubtisms?
I eat horseradish cheddar cheese whenever I have the opportunity, so that I won't beat myself up with those "I shoulda ate me some of that there cheese when I seen it" thoughts.
