When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice. ~William James

Today I am grateful...
- for soft, quiet Sundays spent in air conditioning--painting, reading, napping, snuggling with Bunny. Ahhhhh...
- that there will be enough today and tomorrow
- that there are images in my art bank just waiting to make their way onto canvases
- that the most elegant things in life are the most simple things
- for the sustaining power of God
It is not idle fantasy to imagine beginning life again because, in a sense, we have. In recovery, it seems we have begun life again, only with our eyes a little more open. ~Touchstones
Be expectant. Constantly expect better things. Believe that what God has in store for you is better than anything you ever had before. The way to grow old happily is to expect better things right up to the end of your life and even beyond that. A good life is a growing expanding life, with ever-widening horizons, an ever-greater circle of friends and acquaintances, and an ever-greater opportunity for usefulness. ~24 Hours a Day

There is no doubt in my mind that I was given a chance to start my life over...eyes way more open!
Mmmm...very peaceful list today.
Here's to conscious, deliberate choices and willingness to learn...
Blessings and aloha...
I like having my eyes at least partially open, although I'm still tired so maybe shutting them would be good.
I'm sure that Art Bank is more valuable than the Ffederal Reserve!
"for the sustaining power of God" my favorite.
