Today I am grateful...
- for this three day weekend
- for the excellent carne asada from 1308 last night (with queso!)
- for the IM with Shannon this morning, and the FB message from an old co-hart who is in a relationship with a drinker and can't, but wants to be, sober
- that the following quote I SO GET!!!
When I was a child, I acquired some of the traits that had a lot to do with my insatiable craving for alcohol. I was brought up in a little town in Vermont, under the shadow of Mount Aeolus. An early recollection is that of looking up at this vast and mysterious mountain, wondering what it meant and whether I could ever climb that high. But I was presently distracted by my aunt who, as a fourth-birthday present, made me a plate of fudge. For the next thirty-five years I pursued the fudge of life and quite forgot about the mountain. ~As Bill Sees It

LOVE the little story at the bottom and YES I too can so relate!
WHAT 3 day weekend???? I have to work Friday and Monday. boo hoo
Good quote. Glad that you aren't eating sweets anymore.
Packing fudge vs. scaling peaks.
I'd understand the quote better if I wasn't in a sugar coma from lunch deserts (they must have intended me to eat them all - they put them all out there...)
Anyway, I know there was a mountain around here somewhere...
MMMM, I thought you were from Kentucky.
Let's climb a mountain this summer. There's plenty around here.
Great quotes. I just stumbled across your blog and have really enjoyed reading your posts. I'm grateful to have found you and several others who's words have made a difference.
would those be chocolate easter eggs?
that quote is amazing, smacked me right in the head.
