Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box. ~Italian proverb
Today I am grateful…
- help can arrive quickly after a disaster. One hundred years ago it would have been months for a ship to reach Haiti, then return to home port. It would then take more time for the news to reach us.
- our client made it out of Haiti thanks to a local connection to mercenaries who flew her out of the country
- for Saturday game night. Raucous laughter with good friends.
- that I just keep doing my gratitude lists, some days I just don’t want to—but it is such a part of my recovery I keep going.
- to have so many, many little things that bring me incredible joy
In reaching out to others and letting them know I care, I have discovered that I am really helping myself. My carelessness disappears when I reach out to others. This does not mean that I am willing to put myself or my recovery at risk, but it does mean that I need to be willing to carry the message and I need to be willing to show others I care. Sometimes, this means offering someone a ride to a meeting or hanging out with someone after a meeting because they need to talk. Sometimes it means being willing to make a phone call and at other times it means helping someone laugh out loud. ~Wisdom for Today

I have wonder what kind of games...and how does one get an invite.
It never hurts to know a few mercenaries I guess...or missionaries for that matter.
Your Daily OM gives me a lot to think about - thank you!
Good ol' Attitude of Gratitude! Your blog helped me adopt a new attitude toward life when my sobriety was a brand new thing, and it helps me keep the right thoughts flowing today. I'm glad you are here.
I am grateful your client got out.
I have been listening to news out on the boat and get the occasional podcast. I hope that more rescue efforts and supplies come soon.
I am so glad you have what I want. I hope you have the best day ever and more to come.
Your quotes and post reminded me of the Phoenix, the mythological bird that would die in it's nest in a bright flame to be reborn out of the ashes anew. Haiti is a Phoenix. I am a Phoenix too. I know, weird, but that is what came to mind..hope.
Namaste
