todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

to be home (again)

for 2 very easy and safe flights; both times we were bumped up to an earlier flight because we were at the airport early enough

for the lovely people we met in NYC; people both in recovery and not (including, of course, Mr. H.K.) We must have walked at least 30 miles in Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea and Greenwich Village.

for the 6 AA meetings that Rodney and I attended in NYC over the past 5 days; meetings are done a little differently in NYC than here

for Lambda Center, right here in H-town

for getting a little bit out of my comfort zone and going to 2 (count 'em) two Broadway shows; The Lion King and Momma Mia!

that Hayden is still here with me because he decided to remain an extra week

that he has embraced Lambda Center and has actually participated in some 12-step work although he is not an alcoholic

that I am getting closer to the day of stopping smoking; I am doing this very methodically and preparing myself psychologically so I can quit cold turkey and not look back

Dreams are but thoughts until their effects be tried.
