Sounds amazing, Cascabel; I can only imagine how beautiful it looks and feels in person.

[QUOTE=Kris47;5752751]Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.
--William A. Ward
When trouble tumbles down on us, we are easily overwhelmed. We see problems facing us in the future, and mountains of work to do. We look at the past and see the pain and struggle of addiction. Looking at all this, we might feel despair. We can't handle it. We want to run. Our thoughts begin to spin; we feel caught in a whirlwind. We feel we will break.
Then, softly, we hear the words of our Twelve Step program: "One day at a time." We find we can slow down and take a moment to let the peace of our Higher Power touch us. Now we can take one small step at a time. We can begin the task before us – doing the next right thing. By slowing down and taking action, we stop the spinning and find calm. We find that, like the bridge, we can handle the stress of the moment. And one day at a time, we can find serenity.
Today help me to stay focused on life, one moment at a time. Help me to hear the soft voice of recovery.[/QUOTE]
Bump; thanks, Kris.

I must improve me and react calmly to all that surrounds me because really it has nothing to do with my happiness I create.
Have a great day all!!!
Day 6 shall be better than 5!

So I frequently ask God to help me watch over my thoughts and my words, that they may be the true and proper reflections of our program; to focus my aspirations once again to seek His guidance; to help me be truly kind and loving, helpful and healing, yet always filled with humility, and free from any trace of arrogance.
Today I may very well have to deal with disagreeable attitudes or utterances-the typical stock-in-trade attitude of the still-suffering alcoholic. If this should happen, I will take a moment to center myself in God, so that I will be able to respond from a perspective of composure, strength and sensibility.
