Quote of the Day.. 03/09/08
again this is taken from today's date of A Day At A Time.. it's a good souce to read when recovering from alcoholism, or from other forms of chemical dependency or compulsive behavior. And being this is a website for MORBID OBESE people.. I figure we all fit into this one way.. or another 
get out of it what you can, and leave the rest.
"We kearn in The Program and it's Twelve Steps that as we grow spiritually, we find that our old attitudes toward our instinctual drives need to undergo drastic revisions. Our demands for emotional security and wealth, for personal prestige and power, all have to be tempered and redirected. We learn that the full satisfaction of these demands cannot be the sole end and aim of our lives. But when we're willing to place spiritual growth first--then and only then do we have a real chance to grow in healthy awareness and mature love. AM I WILLING TO PLACE SPIRITUAL GROWTH FIRST?"
"May my development as a spiritual person temper my habitual hankerings for material security. May I understand that the only real security in life is spiritual. If I have faith in my Higher Power, these revisions in my attitude will follow. May I grow first in spiritual awareness."
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER...
Value the life of the spirit.

I FOUND THIS AND LIKED IT AND THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU
LOVE YA RHONDA I HAVE MISSED TALKING TO YOU HOW HAVE YOU BEEN
Bertrand Russell:
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

Very cool! I guess my problem is consistancy. I get all fired up about my "spiritual growth" then I tend to peter out. I am in constant comunication with my "highter power" though and that keeps me convicted and striving to draw closer. They say the most misserable person in the world is one knowing their higher power and not connected to him/her. There have been times in my life that I have been farther away and have been that person. It seems the older I get the more constant he is in my life. I know I have been blessed with much more than I deserve. Why I do not know. I just pray that I can keep it all in the right mind frame. In that, knowing that I could loose all this "stuff" tomorrow and still be just as happy.
Thanks for sharing hun, Sparky
