Grateful that Courage shared his loss with the group. Prayer to ease your suffering and that of your family.

Death is nothing at all' ~ Canon Henry Scott Holland of St. Paul's Cathedral | info

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
[There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident?]
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well.

Grateful for Shakespeare

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

This morning I feel full of gratitude. Grateful for a peaceful morning, a warm cup of coffee, posting on SR, and committing to another day sober. Ready for a productive day and a prosperous tomorrow.

Grateful for antibiotics and very grateful that I did not decide to "treat" my toothache and sore gums with wine or bourbon.

Grateful for the new crown on my tooth.

Grateful I go to the dentist today, instead of using the barroom dentist.
