[F]alse pride became the reverse side of that ruinous coin marked "Fear." We simply had to be Number One people to cover up our deep-lying inferiorities. ~As Bill Sees It

Today I am grateful...
- that Blogger seems to have stopped acting up. Kids these days! Sheesh.
- for the opportunity to maybe show at a small gallery in the Texas Hill Country
- for the 'spirit' attack I had yesterday afternoon. I just felt extremely close to my HP and it left me with tears in my eyes. I love that feeling.
- that smiles come easily to my face these days
- that I got to remember my mom a lot yesterday. Valentine's was her favorite holiday. She would have cards and gifts sitting on the breakfast table for each of us. She just loved to share love. She was a sweet, sweet woman and I miss her.
True ambition is not what we thought it was. True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God. ~Bill W.

That is nice about your mom. It made me think about how mine helped me with the little cards to give in elementary school. I think that she saved all of the ones that I received.
Love Bill W.'s definition of true ambition. Thanks for dropping by yesterday and for leaving such wonderful comments. You lifted my heart:) ~jld
Those "spirit" attack moments keep me on solid ground mor times than I can count. Have a grand Sunday dear friend! (Hugs)Indigo
Good morning Scott.
What a wonderful memory of your mother. How sweet and loving.
I like that, Valentine's Day being her favorite. I think I would like it to be mine as well.
I love your entry today. And, I hope you get to show at that little venue in the Hill Country !
Best of Luck and, I love you.
I forgot to wish you a Happy ValentiMes Day yesterday.
XXXOOO, Ms. Malaprop
I dunno it seems to be acting up on this coast today...
It makes me happy to know that you received little gifts and stuff for Valentines Day as a child.
Did you get a car?
Thanks for the reminder about Mom's. I still have mine, and I need to make amends for earlier times when I was not so nice to her.
Be my Valentine!
I have not experienced anything as complicated and as a perfect example of the merry-go-round as my Alanon when paired with my mother's AA and we are both having to work through old stuff, old buttons, and old resentments. Keeps me humble...
Thanks for the reminder on gratitude...it does help.
Namaste
I'll bet your mother had such feelings of happiness when she was preparing your family's
Valentine's cards & gifties.
