About Me

My photo
I have recovered from the disease of Alcoholism. I believe there is only one person really,.. everybody. And that peace of mind is everything. -So treat your neighbor as you would treat yourself, because your neighbor IS yourself. I think most of recovery is what I would call common sense, but that learning to be ordinary is a true gift very few people acquire. My ambition is to accept everything unflinchingly, with compassion, and therefore be intrinsically comfortable in my own skin, no matter what. I am comfortable being uncomfortable and am willing to go to any lengths to improve my life. I believe the Big Book was divinely inspired, and is extraordinarily powerful. Unfortunately AA's best kept secret a lot of the time. (In my opinion). I just try to do what works, no matter what it is.

Politicians and all that, who knows anything these days

Just thought I'd throw that one in, just in case you had any faith whatsoever in them to 'figure it out'. Oh well.

More to the point, none of us know REALLY. Its all a bit confusing to say the least. (!) Its better if you look at it from the point of view of how much you DON"T know instead of how much you DO know. Gives you a much more accurate assessment of how much of a grip of the situation you have. Ie NONE really.
Oh well. Never mind eh?
Hahahaa
Yeah I know it sounds depressing, but its the truth, and it saves yourself tying yourself in knots trying to figure the whole DANG thing out. Well that's what I think anyway..
Hey I have no idea why I decided to post this. But it IS how I see it, and I just thought I would share that with you..

Glad to see a new post. I look forward to reading what you're thinking about and had missed you the past few days.

We can't figure out politicians because they are too slippery and have too many masks. They are the actors. I no longer try to figure them out.

One thing I am certain of is that in my search for faith I will not find it in the politicians. What I really hate is when they wear their supposed "faith" on their sleeve. My votes tend to go against someone rather that for them. Shameful.. but don't get me started. I'm trying to practice patience and tolerance:)

peace.
