Motivation and life lived and loved in a positive light, one day at a time. Inspiration from a Higher Power, for those who believe they need one or both.

February 1 Be Led

“Don’t be pushed by your problems;
be led by your dreams.” ~Anonymous

Being pushed usually results in resentments against the

pusher, even if the direction one is being pushed towards is paradise.

Family and friends are there to help you dream, give you

suggestions, point out the potholes in the your path of life,

not to dash your dreams or push you into the swamp of despair.

Today, be led by the dreams of doing the will of a loving

Higher Power, dreams that will lead you to the promised land,

the Heaven that exists right here on Earth.

Happiness is being led by your dreams.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Ode to Gentleman Jim Poem: # 524 (Frozen to the ground)

the struggle was in his mind
was he better off dead or alive
to being hopeless he was resigned
it took too much just to survive

drugs and alcohol were a quick fix
too soon the terrible addiction took over
the mind started to play a more insidious trick
peace was an eternal sleep under a bed of clover

he woke up frozen to the ground
could not remember when the binge began
he so wanted his life to turn around
directions were needed to give him a plan

he found hope among a group of drunks
they gave him a book that had a Doctors opinion
it had twelve steps to get him out of the dumps
to a Higher Power he became a loyal minion

four scores plus he continues to thrive
the Group Of Drunks is now his sponsor
a soul at peace, just glad to be alive
to his personal God he gives all honor

Your Marvelous Personality January 31


“When you stop drinking, you have to deal with this

marvelous personality that started you drinking in the first place.” ~ Jimmy Breslin

Stopping the habit of drinking alcohol is the easy part,

staying stopped is the hard part.

With the help of a Higher Power and friends who

have been there and done that the transformation

of the physical, mental and spiritual being from problem

drinker to useful citizen can be accomplished,

one day at a time.

Don’t drink, go to meetings, and let that marvelous personality

shine through so that you may be of maximum service to self,

others and your Higher Power.

Happiness is rescuing your true personality form the wreckage of the past.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Say happy birthday to the Ole Curmudgeon

No. 82, 1/31/1944

Poem:

do I need an hour to be happy ? ? ?
are we the animal social ? ? ?
small talk and being chatty
a habit, a routine, devotional

using a libation to open up
inhibitions and morals erased
deluded to drink from the loving cup
dreams and thoughts that are not chaste

and then comes the morning after
do I remember being happy
tears of regret drown out the laughter
the mind stretched like pulled taffy

introduced to a new way of living
choosing to be happy all of the time
turned from self centered to giving
from the grandiose to the sublime

every day filled with laughter
a sober life is all that matters
