We have been seduced and trapped by a ritual of forgetting ourselves. ~Touchstones

Today I am grateful...
- for a light, lively and occasionally moving birthday night at TLC
- that for a while now, when I wake up, all the furniture is where it was the night before
- to keep enough free space in my mind so that anything new has a chance to settle in
- that there is never room for Jello (I dislike it immensely) but there is always room for growth
We may have let ourselves believe that we're supposed to display an attitude that expresses our opinions of others. If a person is crude and boorish, we should be cool and defensive for our self-protection. If a person is warm and friendly, we should respond in warm and friendly ways. If we have believed these things, then we're actually letting others control our attitudes and behavior. We are letting personalities interfere with the high principles we are learning in AA. We are not living at the best possible level. ~Walk in Dry Places

there is always room for pie.
I'm glad you are happy So. You deserve that too!
I am also glad that your furniture no longer grows legs and walks. I guess the sofa and bed had legs though.
Bea was a good woman.
Cherry jello with mayo. ymmmmm. (I know I just made some of you sick, but I can't help it.)
things where we left them the night before: furniture, car, dishes, glasses, books, wallet, etc.
thanks for the post and thank god for sobriety.
