And now we begin ... 20TEN


todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I don't make resolutions at the New Year; I make them when and as necessary during the course of any given time period.
But I call them decisions or commitments.

that I woke up sober this morning and I'm getting ready to go to my regular 6:30am AA meeting

that I'll attend 2 more AA meetings today before some people have even awakened from last night

that I've been given all I need by following some basic life principles


Be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur.

I like that saying about one's prime, as I consider myself a late bloomer (as opposed to slow learner!)

Best New Year wishes to you, Dave.

I agree, I like the word commitments. I was at an open AA mtg just before xmas or maybe it was thanksgiving and the point was made that it IS just another day, I took it as any day is both small and big at the same time. Hope you are feeling better.

Happy New Year!

Yo Dave!
I've enjoyed playing catch up on your blog.
I see that you are still sober, still going to Lambda, still weird, and I'm glad you did not change while I was gone. Especially the weird part.

Dave, thanks for all that you have provided here in the past year. I have laughed, thought about, been inspired by what you've written
