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

The door to the human heart can only be opened from the INSIDE. ~Walk in Dry Places
.

Today I am grateful...

  • that daily action takes us away from a drink
  • for evolution in recovery
  • that as humans we carry the imprint of Divinity
  • for restraint in its many forms
  • that today I will go forth, knowing I have what it takes, be comfortable with that and relax

Good listeners know how to let go of their fears. To listen completely, we step outside ourselves, and we're totally there for someone else. Sometimes we listen for only a few moments. Sometimes we don't even agree with the people we're listening to. But we let them know that they count. What a gift we give when we listen in a complete way! ~Keep It Simple

Hi Scott; I wonder if you'll meet my sponsee Les this weekend? Her sister-in-law is Pam and Les and husband Jerry (Pam's brother)are on the plane now heading your way.
I told Les if she saw you to give you a big hug from me. Maybe we can get her to blog at some point.

I would rather listen than talk. It's something that I've learned through practice.

Lou said...
