Choices - good and bad

I live in Houston, Texas, the 4th largest city in the United States.
I guess things are pretty good because the local CBS-TV affiliate led off their news with a story about a bridge being renamed for deceased politician Ann Richards.
Don't get me wrong; I was a fan of Ms Richards.
But if this is the biggest news item these pros can come up with, things must be damn good!


THIS should be bigger news. Don't ya think?
Check the demo.

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I get to attend my 3 AA meetings today, all before 1pm

that I continue to hear lame excuses from alcoholics on why they relapsed;
they keep me on my spiritual toes

that Zane made a good choice; facts are a great thing to have when a decision must be made

that I'm not flying over the next 10 days when America's airports are their busiest

for some incredibly nice weather here in Houston

that MC's blog , Anonymous Alcoholic, will return on its own time

that I don't even think about the fact I smoked for 36 years any more unless someone asks me how I am doing with the non-smoking; it's just another part of my past-life

for the 8 whole days that this country went before the newly empowered Democrats began scratching each other's eyes out for power over each other - it is nothing short of insanity!
They're acting just like .... Republicans.

that my chronic lower back pains are not terminal LOL

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

Thanks for several laughs this morning. And, I decided to post something in hopes of jolting my blog back to life, and it seems to have worked! Thanks for your support.

I know what you mean about the news, I often get the feeling that it is all contrived

lol dAAve, dem or republican, in the end they're mostly all the same. They're there for $$ and power...

I love the funnies this morning!
THanks for the smile.. and yeah I love to hear those lame excuses too. Early on in a men's meeting I actually asked a guy in the meeting why he relapsed, or what he did/didnt do that caused it. Several guys we surprised, and he was a little offended, but I wanted to know, so I didnt do what he did. Hey, its a selfish program!

I'm grateful today that I even HAVE choices. When I was "in my disease" my options were dismal and few.

One of my best choices today is to support by sobriety by staying connected to you all, (or is is ya'all?)
