Someone shared at a meeting ...
(paraphrased) "At the nursing home where I work with patients with dementia, a resident came to me and wanted to talk. As she began to speak to me, she said she forgot what she wanted to tell me. I told her that happens to me all the time; that my thoughts often just fly right out of my head. She then told me that if I see a thought flying past that doesn't belong to me, to grab it because it is hers."
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that I got Mom out of the nursing home for a visit to my sister's house, 20 minutes away; this was her first non-doctor journey since Christmas
that my very-selective memory keeps telling me to continue to Keep Coming Back
for another weekend full of sobriety and serenity
that 2 years and 7 months and 2 weeks ago, I didn't give up 5 minutes before the miracle
for all of the people at meetings with very little sober time and know that they have so much potential
that each day, I must remember about Honesty, Open-Mindedness and Willingness
that KENNY celebrates 2 years of sobriety today - stop by and say howdy!

I love the image of thoughts flying around... thanks.
Very cool, however if my thoughts flew around it would be dangerous.
