Onward


A principle to learn from the sly fox during a fox hunt:

When you are in deep trouble, look straight ahead, look like you know what you're doing, keep your mouth shut, and say nothing!


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I have so much to be grateful for, although I have had a difficult time writing about those things lately

for the one hour that 6 recovering alkies spent discussing the merits of Tradition Six, which reminded me to say a prayer for the dozens of former Lambda Center members who chose to go elsewhere simply because others voted to allow a CMA meeting

for some insight and good advice from my therapist regarding ways to prevent isolating

for a very productive day and the hope and chance of another one today (for me, this means being the best I can be throughout my day and not regressing to my selfish ways)

Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential.

Love your sly fox and your actions of praying for those who chose to leave your group. Walkin da walk you be!
