todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that my Mom is still alive although her awareness of life around her has somewhat diminished
for a lot of new faces in the noon AA meetings at Lambda; yesterday there must have been about 8 people I did not know and that is unusual ...
that I am just a little better at introducing myself to newcomers/new faces than I once was; I am intimidated by people I don't know, forgetting that they are usually much more scared and/or intimidated than I am
for the first time in about 2 years, I have no concrete plans of things that must be accomplished this week; it's like being on vacation in retirement (not to be confused with leisure travel in retirement because that is when I actually have plans) LOL

Hi Daave....it's great to be a part of a "growing" meeting isn't it?
Having no plans sounds absolutely wonderful. Enjoy!
My fav days are ones with no plans!
Did you notice how many slips in the basket that needed to be signed? 8. Whatever gets you there, right?
It is hard being a newcomer and going to different groups. I go to several different groups because there aren't that many meetings by any one group. I meet new people and through regular attendance have gotten to know them. At first though, it felt a bit strange.
We can all make a difference one person at a time , I loved that Mother Teresa quote...
love to you todAAy dAAve
I am sorry about your mom Daave. Sending you both prayers and good thoughts.
I love it when I dont have anything planned because that almost never happens
enjoy it
