Big things, Small things



todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for some awareness of patterns of my thinking and my behavior that comes to me because of Step 4 inventories

for day long calmness (serenity)

for knowledge that things will be OK as long as I closely follow the design for living that comes to me as a result of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous

that answers will come but I must be more open-minded if I am going to appreciate them

for those who gave their lives 69 years ago at Pearl Harbor


We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
- George Bernard Shaw

Those days of calmness are just wonderful.

So many great things to be "grateful" for....it's like all your senses come alive through working the steps...

David,
I'm not a serious blogger but I've been blogging for years. Yours is the first blog that I felt compelled to leave a comment on because I found your words so inspirational! I wish you continuing success in dealing with your addictions! If I can get the link to work, I'll add your blog to the blogs I follow.
Good luck,
Bob
