Oh, what a beautiful morning !
It is good to be alive and well. If I was not sober, I would be missing out on the happiest period of my life.
Today, I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...
I am becoming who I never knew that I could become. Perhaps I never thought that I would give myself permission to be this happy (?)
God's Grace
the Gift of Faith
Precious
the people in my life and those who have passed from this life - never to be forgotten
the opportunity to serve on the "Events Team" of RCIA. I'll be setting up food tables, washing dishes and giving back what has so freely been given me. It's a wonderful honor to be a part of this team who serves quietly in the "background"
Thank YOU

What a wonderful weekend and week thus far !
I am Grateful and Thankful...
that I am as interested in other's as myself (perhaps a touch to the other's side)
for the gift of my Faith
I have made changes because of the work I am doing on my faith journey
it has been a very Spiritual 4 days. Very satisfying as well
I can not, and have no desire to...hide my happiness and joy in the way I am living my life the past few months
for Lee in my life. He walked through many bad fears this morning and afternoon. He is one of the bravest people I know today
It is Lee's 4 month AA birthday today as well
Happy Birthday, Lee
I look forward to a tasty dinner with friends and family this Saturday afternoon
All of you who are coming, Thank you for gracing me with your presence
It is an honor to break bread with you all

Monday morning. A Glorious day to be alive !
I am Grateful and Thankful...
for the people who rallied around a friend who needs support and help - thank you Tammy, Allen. Tammy followed through like the Professional that she is ! Awesome Woman !!
that I am not Bi-polar. I feel for those folks that are. Being a depressive myself, I can not imagine the pain of being so happy and giddy that it causes as much (and more) problems, pain
and suicides as depression. I have many friends and loved ones suffering from Bi-Polar disease. Bless Them Lord and watch over them, please !
to be clean, sober and smoke-free today
to be joyful to have friends today. I look forward to Saturday afternoon to sit down to fantastic Italian food together
for Precious and her beautiful "Cat Spirit"
that Father John shared with me the fact that he had to put down his diabetic cat last week. I feel for him and hope that his sorrow will ease day by day. Love you Father John !
for the beautiful weekend retreat in Surfside and the Soul Felt and Soul Healing Rite of Welcome yesterday
For Frank - who is traveling with me in my Faith Journey
for Lee and his friendship. I love you Lee, I am here to support your sobriety and give you help where and when you request it
for this day of life. For forgiveness and Love. For Redemption and Prayer.
For God's Amazing Grace !
thank YOU

Happy Sunday !
It has been an awesome two days. A retreat in Surfside yesterday, the Rite of Welcome into the Church this morning. The Rite was a beautiful experience as was the retreat.
The significance of what mySponsor and I did on retreat yesterday had everything to do with what took place in the Rite this morning !
I walked out of the Church this morning having gotten the Grace of forgiveness of myself and the things that have kept God at an arms length from me. It was a moving experience and one that I will look forever back on with tears of joy !
Thank you Frank. What an AWESOME Sponsor and Friend !
Love to all.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to be sober, clean and smoke-free today
the friends that are coming to dinner Saturday afternoon
for friends !
Italian food - Great Italian Food, you are all going to enjoy the food !
thank YOU
