All of my life I been like a doubled up fist... poundin', smashin', drivin' -- now I'm going to loosen these doubled up hands and touch things easy with them. ~Tennessee Williams

Today I am grateful...
- for love and support from family and friends
- for my new debit card with Bunny's photo on it!
- that I have my usual Saturday work today, an AA birthday dinner followed by the birthday night celebration at Lambda Center
- that when I change my thoughts, I change my reality
We do not need to punish ourselves for having denied reality; we need only love ourselves into safety and strength so that each day we are better equipped to face and deal with the truth. We will face and deal with reality - on our own time schedule, when we are ready, and in our Higher Power's timing. We do not have to accept chastisement from anyone, including ourselves, for this schedule.We will know what we need to know, when it's time to know it. ~The Language of Letting Go

I love the idea of the debit card. I have seen that offered with credit cards but not with debit cards. I need to call my bank and see if they offer one.
BTW, Thanks for being there last night. You are the BEST BROTHER I COULD EVER ASK FOR!!!!
I love knowing that once a month every month of the year I will get to sit with people I love and celebrate their sober birthdays.
Hey, now you don't have to carry a picture of Bunny in your wallet, you can just whip out the debit card. Make sure if you do it at the dining table that people don't think you are buying though,
Never heard that T.W. quote b4. Wow!
"...having denied reality". For so many years I didn't realize that I was living in an unreal world. True happiness has come to me since I've allowed life to be what it is and to accept it as such.
Lucky Bunny.
You always leave me with something to reflect on. The first quote could very well have been about me. The last gives me food for thought. I chastise myself all too easily and push and pull in every direction to find a place. I need to learn to just be. (Hugs)Indigo
That debit card must be cute!
Scan it & show it to us.
Include your PIN in the post.
Great quote. And Bunny on your card? That is cool.
can you post a picture of it with all the important stuff marked out?
i'm glad you went with bunny's pic instead of mine, he wouldn't like that.
