I will not seek out unfair treatment today, but neither will I be upset if it occurs. If it does, I'll deal with it as another lesson in my spiritual growth. ~Walk in Dry Places

Today I am grateful...
- for the feeling of absolute freedom I had all day yesterday. Everything just felt right in my world. I had to watch myself last night because I laughed and smiled so much my jaw started to ache.
- that this morning I have a slight dull ache in my left jaw, otherwise the oral surgery I had Friday was a cakewalk
- that today can be a food scale back day. Yesterday was carb heaven!
- for the power of gratitude, the power of prayer and the power of recovery
In our demanding ways, we haven't wanted life to be a process; we have wanted to reach a secure point of arrival. We have struggled against the dialogue and learning process of experience. We've looked for a "fix" and for perfection. Even now in recovery we long to "get it right." We continue to learn and to grow, but the lessons we learn are not the things we expected. We grieve the lateness of our learning, and then we go on to learn more. ~Touchstones

Happy Monday So.
Here's to learning and growing...
Thank you
I saw you eating that donut. I wanted it. But not now.
That glazed doughnut, which was still warm, was superbly delicious!
Laughter is the BEST medicine. Love this last quote. Thanks
You give my mouth hope for the future.
Can I have a raised glazed donut? I am salivating dammit!
I'm glad that you didn't have any more aches than just a slight one in the jaw. I don't seek perfection anymore and it's a great relief to me and a lot of relief to others.
