I try to NOT repeat myself, but ...




todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

some things are worth repeating

for my sobriety AND my slow recovery from alcoholism

for the many, many things about life that I haven't learned yet

that most things in my life aren't nearly as important as my mind thinks they are

for the people I know who give and give with no seeming expectation for something in return

that this is gay pride week; I will drive a convertible in Houston's parade this Saturday


The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Slow recovery from alcoholism is the best kind.

I have found my interpretation and reinterpretation of each of the 12 Steps like great little doors and windows to lasting wisdom and daily healing.

I think those who give without expectation are incredible. Unconditional love is a scarce thing in this world.
