"I will be more afraid of spirit-unrest, of soul-disturbance, or any ruffling of the mind, than of earthquake or fire. When I feel the calm of my spirit has been broken by emotional upset, then I must steal away alone with God, until my heart sings and all is strong and calm again. Uncalm times are the only times when evil can find an entrance. I will beware of unguarded spots of unrest. I will try to keep calm, no matter what turmoil surrounds me."
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY, Hazelden Meditations for February 21
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that my Mom is so accepting of her illness and her surroundings
that Honesty got me sober and Tolerance keeps me sober
for the Freedom of knowing I am powerless over most things
that I can often admit when I'm wrong without suffering too much pain
for a phrase that Mr H.K. reminded me of some time ago ...
"When you need a job done, ask a busy person to do it"
that I am a busy person (LOL)
If you like a man's laugh before you know anything of him, you may say with confidence that he is a good man.
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
