The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. ~Walk in Dry Places

Today I am grateful...
  • that I have committed to posting here daily since 12/05/04
  • to have found Carrie Fisher's blog HERE. She is really funny and in recovery.
  • that So should be back at work today. She and many, many others are still without electricity at home.
  • to see the light shining through so many young people in recovery (and that I made it to an age that I can make reference to 'young people')
  • to work honestly at being a good person and the momentum it gives my recovery

Service is really a beautiful word. Service means respect. When we serve others we're part of the human race. We all need to help each other. Service is a sure way to stay sober. Helping someone else stay sober helps us stay sober. And service frees us from self-will. It teaches us about how to care for ourselves and others. It teaches us that we're worthwhile. It teaches us that we make a difference. Service keeps us feeling good. ~Keep It Simple

you are one of the first bloggers I found but I swear I can not remember how.
but when you said welcome I though "yeah, I'm in".

What a world of good it does to watch people grow, i'm still early on, but more recently have been given the gift to watch other progress - it's amazing

Thanks Scott. I remember wanting to add you as a link a long time ago but felt shy about doing that. I'm glad that I did.
