In London last week, we thought about taking a ride on the London Eye (pictured here). After gathering our thoughts, that excursion was declined. But we did walk past it on the Waterloo Bridge so I snapped this photo.
todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful
that I got to hear the AA story of a 21 year-old man. He is a mature and responsible man, not a kid. A guy who lived to drink - from ages 8 until 13, when he got sober. Next month, this 21 year-old man celebrates his 8th year of life without alcohol and it is truly a miracle.
even though my low self-esteem weighed heavily on me this past weekend, I dealt with it as you guys have suggested and I came out on the other side a-OK (once again)
that I can go through a lot of emotional turmoil (created by moi) and have no thoughts about drinking, smoking or entertaining other life-threatening addictions
tha my eyesight is not getting any better (I have to use reading glasses) and it
that Kenny's eyesight has stabilized, with medication
for the power of observation coupled with the gift of silence

Stupid Americans that we are, my family spent some time in Paris a few years ago wondering where that ferris wheel was....thank God we didn't ask a local!!
Thanks for the pic. Glad you are feeling better.
yes, observing and remaining silent - sounds like a goal I need to nurture.
thanks for sharing that. It hit home for me too.
Yes, please, take care of your eyes.
We're getting to "that age."

wow 8 yrs sober at 21- I knew a gurl who got sober and has stayed sober since she was 13- I love this program. that is awesome!
I like the denial is not a river!! makes me smile everytime. London eye, yeh its cool, not scary, loads a time to get pictures, you can see all over (on a clear day. For me, 3 times now, its no longer pleasurable. I choose NOT to "ride" the eye with relatives and fiends who come down. Glad you both had an good time :)
