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

Life is movement, and to be alive is to change. There is no standing still. Either we are making progress in the control of our disease, or we are getting worse. ~Food for Thought

Today I am grateful...
  • for quieted disturbances
  • for a successful trip to Fulshur, TX yesterday and that I navigated around the four dozen glazed donuts several times
  • for spirited debates
  • that I have a connection today
  • for the action that keeps me plugged into that connection today

When we harbored grudges and planned revenge for defeats, we were really beating ourselves with the club of anger we had intended to use on others. We learned that if we were seriously disturbed, our very first need was to quiet that disturbance, regardless of who or what we thought caused it. ~As Bill Sees It

I'm glad that your navigation went well. I don't know if I could successfully navigate those hazards or not.

I really needed to see the quote from "as Bill sees it." It is a great reminder and totally right on target for my day at work today.

I hope to carry that thought and feeling into my work week next week.

thanks. Love you
