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

I remember that first drink and feeling so surprised and amazed and delighted. And I think of how many alcoholics are dying right now trying somehow, some way to re-create that moment. ~Charlie C.

Today I am grateful...
  • for the 20th AA birthday celebration of a friend last night where there was a total of 502 years in attendance
  • that I am learning to accept compliments
  • that today my life has balance
  • that I have Thank You written on my heart

A whole lifetime geared to self-centeredness cannot be set in reverse all at once. Rebellion dogs our every step at first. ~Step 7, 12 & 12

"Balance"...that's a big one but it's brought me much serenity and peace.

I'm finding balance and I hope I never truly ever again achieve that first success of drowning. (Hugs)Indigo

Thank you is a big improvement over what I had written over my heart.
