Unless I accept my faults I will most certainly doubt my virtues. ~Hugh Prather

Today I am grateful...
- that the car passed the state inspection despite being told the hairline crack in the rear light cover would prevent it (I just took it elsewhere)
- for the twenty or so folks that showed up for the Beginners meeting last night despite all the flooding going on in Houston (led by our Dave)
- that Bunny knows I mean business when it's raining and he won't go out and I put his leash on. He gets right down to it. When he's through I let him off the leash and he is a blur getting back inside.
- that since the dentist office was closed yesterday I will try again today
The world needs listeners ... If everyone were the story-teller, it would be a noisy place, and no one would ever get to hear the stories. Maybe you are a storyteller; maybe you are a listener. Maybe both. Maybe it will be your path to achieve recognition and fame; maybe yours is an anonymous path of service. If you've done all you can-- whether it's to pursue your dreams, work on that relationship, help someone else, or take care of yourself-- then you've done your part. ~More Language of Letting Go

I can see Bunny the flying dog flying right back in the house... cute little Bunny. (this from a woman who does not like dogs.)
I love that last quote.
I work very hard to be a listener because for the longest time I was not.
Like Jeremy, I'm trying to improve my listening skills. It's all that old story of getting out of myself...stuff I've learned in AA.
"...despite all the flooding going on in Houston (led by our Dave)"
I see dAAve "leading the flood".
I need to be more of a listener.
Dang it, Steve E beat me to the punch.
Bostons do not like being wet. But they do know when someone means business!
that's so funny about Bunny - Jack loves stinky pond water but acts like the rain is the worst thing in the world! go figure...
