Heard in a meeting


"If it is good, it will stay. If it is bad, it will go away. That goes for any person, any attitude. It is a matter of the heart. Light your little corner and you will be amazed at what is attracted to the light."


"Practice being while becoming."


"Did you ever wonder what your life would be like? Well, this is it. The fantasy is over. Now get to living."

  1. What a beautiful photo you've captured. These quotes are very important - especially the first. I believe that about truth. It just is. It doesn't need any supporting evidence. That's how we know what illusions are. They are what we work so hard to convince others of. Have a great Saturday Syd!

  2. Ahhhh, spring!

    The pre-dawn song of chuck-will's-widows, and now the serene and exquisite of one of nature's flying jewels! That giant luna moth is just lovely.

    Nothing more need be said. I will carry these symbols of earthly peace as long as I can.

    Happy spring,
    Hugs,

  8. Wow, this is it huh? I never wanted to be an alcoholic... not something I aspired to. But I drank instead of college, making my marriage work or raising my kids properly. It looks like I'm getting a second chance that I don't deserve. Thank God. Awesome post, Syd.

  10. A SUCCESS STORY:

    I wanted to be an alcoholic--REALLY.
    And I succeeded, even EXCEEDED all expectations, in every way!

    Finally I wanted sobriety. And I am still succeeding.........

  14. Great quotes to live by Syd. I'm going to try and remember those today and tomorrow as I set out to light my little corner of the world. I hope you have a nice weekend.

  15. In my mind, the first thought is similar to the idea of "letting go" and if it was meant to be it will come back to you and if not, it won't.

    I've experienced just that in a very important area of my life. I let go, Mr. Steveroni came back and we are the happiest for it. I thank God every day.

  18. Happy Easter, Syd. I love the things that we hear in meetings. That's where I first heard the expression "Wherever you are, be there" .

  20. I just found your page today. I am slowly finding folks to connect with. Raised by an alcoholic father, and have two grown sons that are alcoholics, clean and sober. The youngest just got his first year token. They are both two of my favorite people on this earth:) God is good. I have much work, a life time to do within myself and I am happy to be on this journey. I especially loved the quotes in this post. Thank you. I will be back!!! ~Peace

  21. To go along with yours, I've often heard it said that Life is NOT a dress rehearsal. This IS the main event.
