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

Spiritual growth results from absorbing and digesting truth and putting it to practice in daily life. ~White Eagle
.
Today I am grateful...
  • to be surrounded by those who try to improve their experience by striving to be the best they can be. That probably includes you, and if so, congratulations.
  • that my life is full of reflections, in others and in mirrors (that means I am not a vampire)
  • this, too, shall pass. It always does. Whatever it is.
  • that today the world is colored rather than gray
  • that I am not the jealous type
  • that what I see in you today will reflect how I see myself

It's mainly a quiet battle. It's fought daily. We fight and win by acting in a spiritual way. We fight and win every time we help a friend, go to meetings, or read about how to improve our lives. We move slowly but always forward. Rushing will only tire us out. Our battle will go on for life. We are quiet fighters, but we're strong, for we do not fight alone. And we know what waits for us if we lose. ~Keep It Simple

I'm glad you're not a vampire. Vampires aren't really as sexy as they're made out to be.

"This too shall pass" is something I have pinned up on my wall...good reminder amidst storms/highs/lows.

What I see in you today will reflect how I see myself--how true that is.

I once heard if you find fault in your fellow man, you should go home and look in the mirror and examine what fault lies within you first. Loved the top quote! (Hugs)Indigo

Scott W I would not miss one day of your dose of easy-to-take medicine, which usually involes some kind of change in the wind--in me. Thanks.
