I am so grateful that we are all in this together--no matter how crazy life gets, we have each other! I am never alone because I have a God of my understanding that is always with me. He will pull me through any rough situation if I let HIM. And, I just want to say to all: Hang in there & wait for the miracle! Kathleen
I am grateful I get to know the program and that the focus of our serenity prayer is a real and a tangible destination. I am so blessed by here.. The program has helped me to call on my hp many times thru a lot of varied life experiences. The tools we use here help to replace a lot of vivid memories with slogans, steps and traditions that teach us a newly refined set of values, for that I will always be grateful.
I have been in education, as a student and of course as a teacher. Recently, after some time in program, and as a student, my studies take me to a place where there is no word to describe a field of energy that is unexplainable bliss. I just got a thumbs up from a trusted colleuge that my idea on the word is a valid and a vivid tool to put to work in society. Here is that word, with its use in a complete experience / setting:
Omnicosum, omnicosmic: An inner state of a beautiful happiness that no words can describe.
Its use in a phrase:
I am at the mall. A shopper happens by me out in the parking lot. He speaks to me in a greeting, as we exchange words, he says to me that he is ''the happiest person in the world.'' I smile at him and say ''aww, how cool, that is omnicosmic.'' He looks at me, smiles and nods a yes it is.
namaste~ oceans of light n love 2 u and ur's getoverit yuppers -- we are all really in it together
It may have been the most important part of my accepting the program... sharing those intimate details of the calamity of my life - I'm grateful to have had others who had been there before. I have come to the conclusion that I would've survived without program; yet, bound to make the same mistakes, meet the same personalities, ignore the same red flags, allow the same boundary crossings, etc etc etc
thanks for the post! with love, cj
