Spiritual Flossing

todAAy, I'm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that when I do the things necessary to stay and live sober, amazing things can occur

for a very nice weekend full of sobriety related stuff

to hear a friend in recovery tell his 55 minute story -- for the second time in 3 months

that Step 10 doesn't read -- "Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong probably admitted it."

that I am occasionally able to get out of my damn head - without drinking alcohol!

for a relatively speedy Board meeting Saturday afternoon

that I have the pleasure of taking my Mom to a doctor appointment this morning

for all the flavours of Blue Bell Ice Cream

that Sadaam Hussein is no longer a weapon of mass destruction

for curds and whey

The difference between faith and trust ...
The guy at the circus going across the high wire in a wheelbarrow has faith he will get across.
Trust is getting in the wheelbarrow.

Sirreene, Blue Bell is made in Brenham, TX and it is said the cows think it is heaven. They also sing melodiously according to the commercials. It is very high in cream/fat count so you know that's got to make it taste heavenly.
