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

Imagine once, and you have a glimpse. Imagine continuously, again and again with the power of your passion, and what you imagine becomes real. Reality is imagination that has persisted through every doubt. Imagination focuses energy and substance into the expression of its specific vision. What can you imagine? What will you continue to imagine until it becomes a part of your world? Imagination has no limits. The future is as bright as you sincerely imagine it to be. ~Ralph Marston

Today I am grateful...
  • that barring any unforeseen circumstances today the oral surgeon will take care of this bothersome tooth
  • that in that chair I will repeat to myself, "This too shall pass". That statement has helped me tremendously in sobriety.
  • for desk fans and ceiling fans, a necessity for summertime
  • that last night was the shaky first episode of The Fashion Show
  • that most stuff works out better when I am able to stand out of the way

We can help others by honestly telling them what we think and feel and see---but only when we do this with love. We must be careful when we speak. Speaking the truth is like using a sharp knife---it can be used for good, or it can be used to hurt others. We should never handle it carelessly of use it to hurt someone. ~Keep It Simple

I guess that the string tied to the doorknob trick won't work here. I like the quote from Keep It Simple. How true.

A friend of mine used to contrast using the truth with the precision of a scalpel or stiletto instead of wielding it as a broadsword or club...

No trouble for me to tell others what I think--it's all the rest of that paragraph which gives me the jitters.

Please let us know the score at the dentist's...
