Wed. For Today
DH has been in town and we took two of our grandkids to Disney on Mon. (which was DH's B-day too) so I haven't been on to post. Sorry!
December 7th,
The highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge, or Virtue, or Goodness or Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more desparing: Sacred Awe!
Nikos Kazantakis
One of the greatest blessings a compulsive overeater can hope for is a capacity for awe: to be filled with a sense of mingled wonder, gratitude and reverence of that awesome Power in each of us that heals us of suffering no human skill or medicine could touch, and turns around the most wretched of lives.
For those who are so blessed, the first priority of eah day is to give thanks.
For today: I alone was responsible for dieting and losing weight - and then reversing the process. I alone am NOT responsible for being abstinent, thin and free of the symptoms of my disease. This is the great, central, awe-inspiring fact of my life today.
