If you have a favorite quote or just come across one you like please share.
I just came across this one I really like.

It takes patience and willingness to live fully enough to reap the benefits that accompany wisdom.

The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves. ~Kahlil Gibran

Sobriety is a journey, not a destination.
And what a journey it is.....

Boy, did I ever need to hear this this morning!!

Life is process. We learn, we grow, share burdens, reformulate ideas, and restructure our values.

Woke up to some crazy shit Face Book is doing to business pages!!!!!!!!!!

Grateful to know there is a solution to any problem.

Chris, FB decided out of the blue to discontinue what is called a splash page what some many marketers depend on to get peoples interest on the product you have. I just invested good money 2 weeks ago to have one done for me There pushing to make us buy ads you see on the right side of your page.

Yes "it is what it is" find the solution and move on Have to say I acted instead of reacting pretty damn well.

Was off balance for a few days before it happened but seems I'm back to good levels. :-))))

I am responsible, when anyone any where reaches out I want the hand of AA to be there and for that I am responsible.

I have no words of wisdom this A.M. Just wanted to continue to see this close to the top so newcomers to the program of AA and others, could read.

Oh and to say Good Morning to all!
