δ in recovery, life and everything in it appears open to me. Δ
posted: Mon, Dec 3, 2007 09:21:10 AM
guided by spiritual principles, driven by the power given me by the God of my understanding, my horizons are limitless.
the reason i chose the change icon this morning, is that seeing my horizons as unlimited is a change from when i came to recovery, and a change from early recovery. and even a change from some of the dark and dank places that i have been in during my recovery. having a vision that i even have a future, and that i can do anything or be anything i desire is quite a leap and to live in that vision is at bet a trick proposition day to day. HOWEVER, today, i see that vision and am willing to have a bit of FAITH that my horizons are truly without limits.
anyhow, not much more to say today, except as i hinted at yesterday, my drought of sharing ended at the meeting last night. and you know what, it felt good to be of service once more!

By contraries proceeds;
And weakness marks the course
Of Tao's mighty deeds.
