Good morning
Thought for the Day
When we were drinking most of us never thought of helping others. We liked to buy drinks for people, because that made us feel like big shots. But we only used others for our own pleasure. To really go out and try to help somebody who needed help never occurred to us. To us, helping others looked like a sucker's game. But when we came into A.A., we began to try to help others. And we found out that helping others made us happy and also helped us to stay sober. Have I learned that there is happiness in helping others?
Meditation for the Day
I will pray only for strength and that God's will be done. I will use God's unlimited store of strength for my needs. I will seek God's will for me. I will strive for consciousness of God's presence, for He is the light of the world. I have become a pilgrim, who needs only marching orders and strength and guidance for this day.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may seek God's guidance day by day. I pray that I may strive to abide in God's presence.

Well, we got sent home early yesterday (snowstorm). Just pointed my car in the general direction of home and was slip-slidin' on the streets till I got here. I was a little worried about the kids on buses...
So, the roads are still not completely cleared and it's a 2-hour delay this AM
Dreaming of summer-
24 more hours please.

Checking in for day 15! Had a doctor's appointment this morning and gained some weight so I'm VERY depressed. :-( Taking drinking out of the equation should help but I really need to move more. Hopefully, skiing this weekend will get me on the right track. It's 11:38am here and I'm going to get back to work!
Happy Sober Wednesday everyone!

. Delilah for that awesome library cake....too incredible to slice into though. It goes into the Cake Museum!
