Life is not a destination. Life is a road we travel. I am grateful to be on this imperfect spiritual journey. From a sailor's sea bag comes experience, strength and hope, along with some flotsam and jetsam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day at a time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We surrender to win;
we give away to keep;
we suffer to get well;
we die to live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Know God;
Know Peace
No God;
No Peace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Learn to listen;
Listen to learn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rule #62:
Do not take my life or myself too damn seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Resentment is like acid, eating away at the vessel it is stored in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity is not the absensce of conflict, but the abiltiy to cope with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pray is neither black magic or is it a form of demand note.
Prayer is a relationship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord, take me where you want me to go;
let me meet who you want me to meet;
tell me what you want me to say
and keep me out of your way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problems in my life are not the situations and conditions that I encounter.
It is how I either respond or react to those situations and conditions that transforms them into problems for me.

Just thought I would say Hello,
I have a space on msn and was checking my stats, to see how many people had viewed my space ,there was search address and your blog came up as we had used the same quote that day.
I clicked onto your blog and take it from some entries,you are a recovering alcoholic?
My brother is in the same boat (pardon the pun).
In fact I just returned from getting some petrol in my car and saw him down the street with all his "cronies".
It really saddened me and made me think, then I stumbled on your blog, I have sent him many text messages with similiar sentiments and I know when he is "trying" he attends AA meetings and is full of enthusiasm, but lately he seems not to be able to escape its clutches.
I am a Mormon so dont partake but have other "achilles heels", equally as debilitating if one allows it.
Well take care and thanks for taking the time to do your blog and share your thoughts, I have added your blog to favourites and will follow it with interest.
Godbless
Miz.
XXXXXXX
Good to hear from you.
Sadly, until I was sick entire of being sick and entire no one could help me.
I will add your brother to my prayers.
It is a new day and I get to start all over trying to stay sober one day at a time.
By the grace of God, I will make it another day.
May the good of the day be with you,
James
