I think I'll eat a challenge for breakfast.
And if I don't get indigestion,
I'll try another one for lunch.

So says my perpetual calendar. I don't know about you but I'd like to rest for a while. My life has been filled with challenges. My bff says that I work best under pressure. When I look back at my life I must have looked like Wonder Woman. I've always been under pressure. I'm kind of tired right now. Feel like I need a leaning post. This is why I am going to a meeting tonight in Lawrenceburg. I e-mailed three members to see if they would be available for a meeting. Only two responded- Elaine S. and Marian.


Today's thought from Hazelden is:

Although the act of nurturing another's spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one's own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved.
--M. Scott Peck. M.D.

Those we love must be free to love us in return, or leave us. The honest evidence of our love is our commitment to encouraging another's full development. We are interdependent personalities who need one another's presence in order to fulfill our destiny. And yet, we are also separate individuals. We must come to terms with our struggles alone.

One gift of life available to each of us is security, the sense that accompanies the recognition of our spiritual center. Helping someone else discover their spiritual gifts strengthens our own. Nothing is too difficult when we act in unison as separate entities, relying on the spiritual core that strengthens us to meet any situation.

My own spiritual center will be strengthened if I help someone.
