- that all the pudding cups are emptied and in the trash
- that this morning my jaw feels fairly normal, but I will take some Tylenol just in case
- that the dream I had of throwing my chair at someone during an AA meeting was just a dream
- that you may not care for Joan Rivers, but you gotta admit she is 'fierce!'
- to know today that I left no unfinished business with my mother. She passed on ten years ago last Sunday. She knew I loved her and respected her. She was a great lady.
- to wish all you mothers out there a Thank You and a Happy Mother's Day
If I had my life to live over, I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax, I would limber up, I would be crazier than I've been on this trip. I know very few things I'd take seriously any more. I'd certainly be less hygienic ... I would take more chances, I would take more trips, I would scale more mountains, I would swim more rivers, and I would watch more sunsets. I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it all over again, I'd have many more of them, in fact I'd try not to have anything else, just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of my day. If I had it to do all over again, I'd travel lighter, much lighter than I have. I would start barefoot earlier in the spring, and I'd stay that way later in the fall. I would ride more merry-go-rounds, and catch more gold rings, and greet more people and pick more flowers and dance more often... --Jose Luis Borges

Thank you, Scott. I had lots of unfinished business with my mom, who died in 1993. But, steps and God have given me ample opportunities to make it right with her. I am at peace with her today. I just miss her. :-)
If I go to bed with any physical pain, I have nightmares. Maybe that happened to you too.
Thanks Scott.
How many times have you seen someone throw a chair at an AA meeting? I bet it happens on occasion...
Happy Mother's Day and thanks for all your support.
Barefoot March until December--but I don't ride over 70 mph without heavy socks...or sandals
Were you possibly throwing the chair at a performer. HE HE.
reading this, i think i may have had a dream that involved the lambda place. weird.
Glad you're past your mouth stuff for now...
I hope I'm complete with mom when she's gone - seems like a lot of work while she's here but, in God's time, all is healed...
Wonderful about the unfinished business. I feel good and at peace too.
