Facts, not Fantasy

Two lights from the former site of the World Trade Centers shine for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for reality (not talkin' about any TV show)

for friends in recovery who live in other places.  In a relatively short period of time (8+ years) I've had the opportunity to meet so many people in these United States and in other countries.  I've got to meet a number of bloggers.  I also have a number of friends who have moved from Houston to go live elsewhere. 
One of those is staying at our home for a couple of days while he's back in town visiting family. 
I can't imagine what lies ahead for the next 8 years, but I'll bet it will be good.

for my sponsor and the example he has always given to me; I am reminded to do the same for my sponsees

that today marks the 7th anniversary of this blog and this is the 3,119th post


and finally, for the heroes and all others who experienced the horrors of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii some 70 years ago, today.

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing positive knowledge.
