We are never alone...

"We cannot cure the world of sorrows,
BUT we can choose to live in joy."
by Joseph Campbell

I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give
you blessings. Happiness is up to you."
Unknown

"A pleasant and happy life does not come from external
things. Man draws from within himself, as from a spring,
pleasure and joy."
by Plutarch

A smile will freshen someone else's day.

"When you flee temptations, Do Not leave a forwarding address."


"God never asks about our ability or our inability-just our availability."

Even in the gravest situations, trying to learn something,
is an asset to my recovery....

I can only keep what I have-
by giving it away.

Basic Text..

I'm learning to laugh at myself today...

Three Flights
Three Flights, death row
Just a few more hits of formed powder
They look out windows, paranoid
See black crows lurking in the dead trees
begging for souls to be unleashed
Three Flights, this house
madness, craving, endless
Dial the dealer now!
quiet they walk in circles
eyes looking downward for a crumb
sounds of clicking lighters
Dead end street-Dead end life's
Enter the splintered door
where splintered brains explore
see them go insane, I've been inside
She now exhales, see the demon smoke?
death smiles she is near
Smokey room
She graduated to powder brown
she drifts, sinks into blackness
into the obyss, where no-one can reach her

seemingly secure,
to embrace the new."

God wants us to love & serve Him...

To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment,
and to be reborn in each new one.
