Quote of the day

Guest

Thanks for this one this morning my friend, I needed it. Actually I think I'll add to it.

Forgiveness; giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me,
and giving up my right to hurt myself with the hurt you have caused.

Much more applicable for my needs today.

A friend flaked on me for about the 3rd time in so many weeks last night.
I have rented her space in my head and I need to knock it off.

It is my fault for expecting others to be impeccable with their word.
It is my fault for taking it personally when they don't.
It is my fault for trying to control anothers behavior.

I need to stop hurting myself with this person, forgive her and simply walk away.

Thanks for the sweet reminder.

My breath smells like dirty socks.) Laughing

If your having trouble with the concept of a Higher Power, who was driving
when you were in a blackout?"

"Just keep remembering that you are a note in the symphony of the cosmos
and no on else has or will be able to play the note but you. You are the
unique vibration of the universe. That is so cool to know that we blend with
the whole universe in a beautiful vibration."

She died a few days after sharing this

I miss her sweet face and brilliant spirit, but she is my angel now and I am so grateful.

Sometimes I have what I need at my fingertips and I just don't go there.

Wow!! This one gave me chills because I came out of a black out once and I was behind the wheel and the car was moving. I was almost home and the last place I remember being was on the other side of town. Thank you God.

Each moment is mine, to make as beautiful or as painful as I choose.

Your bottom is wherever you decide to stop digging.

To accomplish a huge task, all it takes is one very small chunk of self discipline at a time.
