when i used to get tired in the program, i would work *harder* to make sure that at my tiredness and weakness i was *protected*.....now, i REST...i know that in my mind, in the quiet, while resting in my HP, i can still work my program....
i felt that if i wasn't working it 24/7, i was opening the door for the darkness to come in, *catching me napping* so to speak
NOW I AM AT REST......for the next few days, I am going to take it EASY----- EASY DOES IT for a while-------its time to REST.........
meditating on the truths, the slogans, quietly affirming the great slogans, steps, and the other good things i learned in the program, quietly surrendering in step 3...accepting that i am powerless over all other things outside of me ---step 1.......believing that i am nver alone and always covered when i declare my utter dependence on my HP and not on self....
yea, i can REST and let the water of the program seep into my soil and nourish my roots as i lay open....humble...willing...honest....dependent on my HP and interdependent on my program mates......rosie
I read your posts daily, but I usually don't respond. They are very helpful to me and give me hope. I know you have gone through a lot and you seem to be doing soooo good! It gives me more hope!

In my case it is my own frozen soy youghurt cheesecake. (i:
