next right thang...

stop...my analytical brain, and do the next right thang...

think, think, think...and don't drink...
tools of recovery;
it's that first thought, that got me here,
a new way of thinking's gonna set me free
from my insanity;

a program of action,
a new way of life,
the only way to live is one day at a time,
stop...my analytical brain,
and do the next right thang...

let go and let God,
my staff and my rod,
live and let live till you die,
keep coming back,
till you can come too,
you're in for a hell-of-a ride,

a program of action,
a new way of life,
the only way to live is one day at a time,
stop...my analytical brain,
and do the next right thang...

the primary purpose is to reach out your hand,
take the 12 steps...so you can understand,
keeping it real simple while keeping it real,
and don't forget to always...feel what you feel...

a program of action,
a new way of life,
the only way to live is one day at a time,
stop...my analytical brain,
and do the next right thang...

stop...my analytical brain...and do the next right thang...

life happens when you are making other plans...

have not had time to think about much of anything lately, and that is a very good thing i suppose! things are just happening, and i am trying to keep up! did not want to get out of bed this morning; hit my knees and turned my life and my will...and the day over...then i found myself arguing with God...my mind was coming up with all sorts of excuses...use to be they seemed like very good reasons for staying in bed! today, i could not tell myself these things with a clear conscious! just for today, i cannot turn my will and life over to God's care, and then make my own decisions...my first thought is always self centered...today i do not trust it...the second thought is a bit better, and the third is usually right own...no matter how hard i have tried to convince myself otherwise...anyways...God won out and i did it His way instead of mine...i have to be reminded over and over again that i cannot think myself into right living...must act, or live my way into it...

keeping it real...just for today...star.

today's moment...

February 12...

Sometimes it is okay just to be exactly as you are, and exactly where you are.

Self-inflicted expectations can drive us crazier than we already are. We pile loads of pressure on ourselves then we wonder why we explode. Next comes the guilt over not being perfect. Give it up! Even God took a breather on the seventh day! Sometimes we have to just sit and be still to recoup our drained energies. It is okay to just be.

Moment by moment, I will allow myself a few moments of nothing. I will clear my mind and rest my spirit, and just be. I will know in my heart that it is okay.
