To be egotistical and self-centered is to be bored. If we are always the center of our awareness, we will soon tire of ourselves, since none of us is all that fascinating. In order to escape boredom, we need to turn our attention outward and focus on something besides self. ~Food for Thought

Today I am grateful...
- that I seem to be surrounded lately by useless chatter, so I have just kept my mouth shut. Some confuse that with a mood, but I am just protecting my serenity.
- for yesterday's meeting topic: change. That and the grace of a Higher Power are the only constants.
- for the way my life just keeps purring along
- that I don't understand everything, what good would that do?
- that I have an inquiring mind, and the stuff I am curious about is certainly different than it used to be

"o be egotistical and self-centered is to be bored" - this is so "up" for me. I have a very busy life but and totally bored with me...
Room for growth...
Protecting my Serenity...now that is a goal that I am becoming more and more aware of...a worthy goal..something for years, I had no clue of. ~peace
