Saturday Morning Ramblings

On this about.com library page most of the Sobriety Society is listed under "Related Blogs".

It's early and I can't sleep. I have gotten to where I don't post on Saturday mornings. My meeting starts at 8:30 and that doesn't give me much time to follow my usual ritual of meditation, reading, praying and writing. Today I can't seem to stay asleep for my usual 7-8 hours so here I am.

Last night I had a conversation with my spiritual brother because (A) he needed to make some AA contact, and (B) he knew I had been in a funk earlier in the week. It was pointed out to me that the funk was more than likely due to emotional fallout from Randall's recent health scare. Scare, hell, he came really close to dying. During times like that my multi-Cancer planetary alignments knock me into caretaker mode and I am successful in that role. It makes sense that I would experience some emotional cauldron stuff after-the-fact and I would have been unaware of that if DR had not pointed that out. See, that's a good thing about having someone that has seen a lot in the rooms and pays attention. He has shown me through the example of others a lot about how the disease of alcoholism and addiction works. For that I am very, very grateful.

I recently did some angel studying, from I forget where, and was instructed to form a rallying cry for my angels when the going gets tough. So when we were about to carry Randall to the emergency room I called out to his mother, Edie, who passed away a year ago in June and to my mother, Bunny, who passed away in 1999. I asked them for some help because I didn't know what to expect. I am fairly convinced that there is some relationship of those souls that have passed over to this plane in which we live. I am just not sure what that direct relationship is, but I wasn't taking any chances. I just wished I could have remembered my battle cry:

Angels Unite, Light Team Engage

I think it sounds cool and it's probably as close as I am gonna get to Super Heroism in this lifetime.

So, DR asked me if I had settled the sponsor thing, meaning had I decided and asked someone to be my new sponsor. On that I have been procrastinating, one of my greatest character defective talents. I need to follow my own advise and Just Do It.

Today promises to be a full day. Meeting at 8:30 with breakfast likely to follow. Then I will do the deposit and bookwork for Lambda. Lunch nibbles in there somewhere followed by a nap snuggling with Bunny.

Later there is a board meeting to elect the remaining three board positions. That will be ill attended. Then off to Norris' for his birthday party (I will try to get Matt to come), followed by the Saturday Night Live speaker meeting and then the Drag Auction. Last year the auction raised over $10,000 by auctioning off the clothes the drag queens wear. Usually topped off by an auction to see a really butch lesbian dressed in beads and sequins. Hey, that's always good for a laugh!

Have a great Saturday!

Oh yeah, I am grateful today.
