Love turns on the sun; we have a happy day and all is well with the world.   Love brings out full size in us.   It discovers within us ambitions unnumbered, goodness unlimited.  It multiplies our energy beyond our imagination.  It excites a courage braver than any soldier.

Love comforts like warm sunshine , refreshes like a gentle rain.  Love's fire glows the longest;  its arrows are the sharpest;  its kisses are the sweetest;  its hours are the shortest.

It speaks and hears a language known only to the heart wherein it lives.   Today, help me love.

Wallsal55,

Great post again. Where do you get these things to post? or are they just different things u feel?

Lanchas

I have collected (just about every) Hazelden daily meditation book there is, purchased them all at half price.  Also, available new through www.hazelden.com  It's just what I have had to do for my recovery---throw the d--washing machine at it!   I have studied here, with Phil, doublewinner, jo, etc., AA members, open meetings, alanon, aa literature, internet research.   Am standing today, and alive.  The other path was DOWNWARD.

I think I have also read all Melodie Beattie books, but just 2-3 left of hers I have not.  I have had an ecclectic approach to my recovery...and it works for me.  The person I wanted to choose for a sponsor is a man...and he worked his program on his own and with his AA wife.  So, I decided if he can do it, I could try it,too.

Don't really recommend it, but I felt kinda stuck with him being a man.  Then I was going to chose a woman sponsor here, lately....and when I asked her something...she said she couldn't remember one single word I said.   I wonder if she's too forgetful (age) or she meant she wouldn't repeat a word I said.  So, once again, when it comes to sponsor, I am still stumped.   Maybe my HP is telling me to Keep on with what I am doing, just keep on following in the footsteps of that man.
