And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Cleanse me, a conditioned one

Lord Jesus Christ, beloved Son, Wisdom, Word, and
Light of Light from the all merciful Abba, the hidden
Father.  Cleanse me, a conditioned one, a sinner,
enlighten and deify me, through the descent of the
Holy Spirit, on behalf of all and as all in all.  All-holy
ever-virgin Mary, bride and mother of God, illumine
this body, mind, will, heart, soul, spirit, the universe
and all humanity. 
                     ~ Lex Hixon, From the Christian Tea
I never realized how conditoned I was in my old thinking,
it is no wonder my brain kept me trapped for so many years.
For example, imagine all those years where I thought I had
to earn God's love and approval ... and, being a perfectionist,
it was never quite good enough!  Dang, what an endless trap
I lived in.  What a gift these 12 steps have brought me, the realization
that God loves me, approves of me, and is there for me ~ no matter what!!
The freedom that brings to me is the greatest gift of all!!

LET GO OF THOSE OLD IDEAS TODAY!!! :)
