You cannot lie to yourself. Your mind knows the truth of your thoughts. April 20 Meditations from "Conversations with God" Book 1 - page 11
Gooooooooooooooood Mooooooooooorrrrrrrrnnnnnninggggggggg ALKIES! That's the way I opened my posts back when I first started blogging. That was 341 posts ago which covers about 3.5 years maybe 4. But for 6,660 days I have lived the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
You are probably wondering how in the hell does a 68.7 year old drunk get to be 91.7. Well, I did one of those REAL AGE quizes today. It was all based on health. That thing was all over the place. I'm younger because I don't drink or smoke. I'm older because I exercise 3 days a week? I'm older because of my BMI. IJ'm older because of medications. I'm older due to stress of losing a loved one within the last 6 months. I'm also older because of hair loss, not look older, just older. So I looked in the mirror - Damned, I LOOK GOOD for 91.7 years old. I can live with that. Then that takes me to the above quote from CWG. But then I'm not lieing to myself. I got it from an internet age test. And we all know those are indisputable. Yeah. Right.
Tonight I am grateful for:
- God my Higher Power
- My Sobriety
- Mamie my schnauzer
- My Sponsor
- The "Conversations with God" books.
- Dealing with financial insecurity without fear.
- Having what I need.
- Needing what I have
- Being an X-Shopaholic
- Friends
- Being in a positive state with the loss of Rosalie
- All y'all.
Y'all be pretty now, ya heah.

Let's do South Dakota.
Your writing just feels joyous to me today. I'm glad Zane. It is nice to reach a point of acceptance about the loss of a loved one. And just to experience the joy of being!
You're as young as you feel Zane. Age is just a number, don't you think?
I am sooooo silly. I had already put my thingy for following you, and then I did it again w/another picture. Oh well.
