There can never be too much kindness in the world. Create some more today, and find real joy in its warm glow. ~Ralph Marston
Today I am grateful...
- for my dear friend Jim, today is his birthday and he is one my biggest cheerleaders
- to not have to search sordid places for enough or more
- that every day I concentrate on turning things over and letting them go in an attempt to express my gratitude to my Higher Power. I strive for trust.
- for prayers for those who no longer come to meetings at Lambda. There are newcomers that will not know their experience, strength and hope.
- for the strength and encouragement working the program of AA has given me
As we learn to accept our disease, our circumstances and what we must do to recover, we come to realize that although we may not have control over these situations, we do have control over how we react to them. Bill W., co-founder of the Twelve-Step programs, wrote "We neither ran nor fought. But accept we did. And then we were free." ~Pocket Sponsor

Happy birthday Jim (whom I've never met).
Happy Friday, Scott !
sometimes...just sometimes, I miss sordid places where no matter how inappropriat my behaviour was, it was still acceptable. OK, now that I think about it...no, I don't miss the way I "felt" in those places.
Oh, and you probably have more cheerleaders than you know about.
Happy Birthday Jim! Daave was that a hint?
I love you too Scott. Wish I could hug you in person.
