Talking Happy Halloween roll call

Hello everybody!!

It sure is cold here in the Midwest - only about 35 degrees at noon! BRRR! The poor kids will be pretty cold while trick-or-treating tonight.

Here's a reading for today -


There will come a day when your innermost imaginings will become your outer reality. What are you choosing to imagine right now?

There will come a day when your habits will be so firmly ingrained that they'll carry you along without you even thinking about them. What kinds of habits are you working to develop?

There will come a day when you'll suddenly encounter a magnificent and wonderful opportunity that's just perfect for you. What are you doing today that will prepare you to make the most of that opportunity?

There will come a day when all the superficial concerns fall away. What are you doing in this moment to give real meaning and purpose and substance to life?

The things you do today affect not only today. They build you and prepare you and position you for all the days that will come.

That makes this very day your most important opportunity. For the person you choose to be today is the person who will carry you forward toward all those days that will surely come.

-- Ralph Marston

I like the message of this reading.

I think it's extremely important to keep this passage in mind -- "That makes this very day your most important opportunity. For the person you choose to be today is the person who will carry you forward toward all those days that will surely come." What I think and do today will influence all my days ahead!!

Hi Teddie. Today it was actually a little warmer here in the "Big Apple". Your reading really nailed it, especially about ingrained habits. My most ingrained habits were the BAD ones. For me the AA program helped to point these habits out clearly and by using the Steps I have a chance of conquering them. It may take a lifetime but at least there is progress. Do you remember the old GE slogan? "Progress is our most important product."

Well, stay warm and watch out for those goblins and things that go bump in the night,
