Good Morning

I got in my car this morning going to work and as I'm going down the street I say the Serenity Prayer as I do everyday.   After that I started thinking about my son....like where is he going to from rehab. Is he going to be able to find a job, is he going to continue his program and stay sober...etc etc etc. 

So I need gas, stop and start the pump.  Wash the windows, get back in my car, put my card away and reset the odometer.  I'm sitting there and start hearing something spilling.  I get out, go to the other side of the car and gas is spilling out everywhere.   Oh geez.....I stop it, clean up the gas on the side of the vehicle and get on my way. Is somebody trying to tell me something? 

Moral of the story.......  QUIT projecting and keep you mind on your own business. smile

My thoughts for today.....you all have a great weekend (((( hugs ))))

Good reminder, I find it really difficult to do this, stay in the moment. I get scared in case I miss something and something bad happens. Its back to step 1 every time - I have no power. Its about trusting that whatever happens it will be for the best in the end or it will certainly be the way it is supposed to happen.
Thanks Cathy.x

Loved this story, Cathy. That is so me when I'm out there dancing with yet another go around of the "what ifs." Fortunately, you heard the gas spilling before you started your car and drove away - or maybe blew away? Thank God that didn't happen. I'd miss you too much. I, like, Paula, love that close up picture of you!
