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

05.07.09

I am not bound or limited by anything that was ever done or said to me. I face the day with self-confidence and a sense of expectancy, knowing that I am really a fortunate person with many reasons to be grateful. ~Walk in Dry Places'
.
Today I am grateful...
  • that it sounds like I have gotten a big commission
  • that I can relax in my life. I do not want to be rushed any more--if I can help it.
  • that if my experience of time passing keeps accelerating like it has, then some day I will get whip lash
  • that there is a solution, and it is vastly more than that
  • for Bunny's dog attitude. Dogs have to be the happiest creatures God ever made.
  • for the rooms full of laughter and tears, growth and spiritual development
  • for prayers for those who are suffering

Resentment, fear and anger are related; resentment is the feeling I have when I remember that I didn't get my way in the past. Fear is the feeling I have when I don't think I'll get my way in the future. And anger is the feeling I have when I don't get my way right now! ~Doug D.

Size matters when it comes to commissions.

Congrats on the commission Scott! Any size is good for me, Bill.

You'll always find good dog reading on Patience-Please Blog (a Lowertown buddy) with some parts that you can read to Bunny.
Thinking of you on Friday. Deb
