Something worth sharing. . .
--Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
It's awesome, the power we each wield in the life that unfolds before us. The inclination of our thoughts invites that which we encounter, which is that which we expect to find. What we can become or experience is limited only by our imagination. Our dreams shine like beacons in the dimness of our minds.
Just as our thoughts can nurture positive experiences and outcomes, negative episodes might be drawn to us, too. We can be sure, though, that we use this individual power to create the flavor of each day as it's met.
Our attitude is the by-product of our thoughts. It is in our attitude that we discover strength or weakness, hope or anxiety, determination or frustration. Alone, we determine whether our attitude will be loving or jaundiced.
The breadth of personal power is awesome. Today will be what I choose to make it. No more and no less.

Here is something I found hanging on one of our crisis counselors desks yesterday that I really liked and I think it applies to many of us:
"Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin."-Grace Hansen
How many of us sit back and let life pass us by until......until we are skinny, until we feel worthy enough, until we get older, until we get smaller, until we whatever.....

Thanks, mostly I am happy, with a little of life's reality moments in between ;)

I am hearing good things about your book study, unfortunately, with my schedule being what it is, I just don't have anything left to spend on the computer when I get home after my AA meeting on Tuesday's, but I will work on getting the book simply because I've heard it's very helpful.
Hugs and hope to see you somewhere soon. . .
