I started a Web Site in 1999 when I came back into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. Tripod decided to block me a few years ago , so I stopped writing, posting. SO I decided to take the posts I had there and put them here. Plus new ones I found on the net and shares of my own. Take what you need and pass on the rest! Blessings ds♥

Gratitude
"Another
exercise that I practice is to try for a full inventory of my blessings
and then for a right acceptance of the many gifts that are mine - both
temporal and spiritual. Here I try to achieve a state of joyful
gratitude. When such a brand of gratitude is repeatedly affirmed and
pondered, it can finally displace the natural tendency to congratulate
myself on whatever progress I may have been enabled to make in some
areas of living. I try hard to hold fast to the truth that a full and
thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with
gratitude, one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love, the
finest emotion that we can ever know." Bill W., March 1962 1988 AA Grapevine, The Language of the Heart, p. 271 Thought to Consider . . .
I have learned what a heart full of gratitude feels like.
