- for last night's celebrations of 38 birthdays totaling 497 years of sobriety
- for the bake sale and the GIGANTIC piece of double chocolate cake I brought home
- for prayers for New Orleans
- for the following on page 394 of the Big Book:
It has changed not simply one department of my life--it has changed my whole life. It has been a fellowship with God and man that has held good wherever I've turned and whatever I've done. It is a way of life that pays as it goes, every step of the way, in compensations that have been wonderfully rich and rewarding. It has made life a thousand times easier and simpler than did the endless compromises and conflicts by which I lived before. It pays daily in more harmonious relations with my fellow man, in ever clearer insight into the true meaning of life, and in the answering love and gratitude wherever and whenever I have been the instrument of God's will in the lives others. In all these ways I've experienced, in ever growing measure and beyond all expectations and rewards, a joy which I had never before imagined.

Wow! That is a lot of sobriety. How beautiful.
Last night, I went to celebrate the birthday party of my close friend. She is a judge, openly lesbian, and was elected. We have been friends for more than 20 years, and it was so beautiful being a part of her celebration.
Celebrations are wonderful!
