Wow 682 days is COOL Willa. I knew you would cotton on to this AA lark fairly sharpish. Excellent. And Mary, you will be a ! year in March, ( a day at a time) Where did the time go? Wow, it FLASHES by doesn't it?<BR/>and Penni with one month! how ! Cool! its VERY exciting when people are new. so many possibilities and stuff!!<BR/>Hey well thanks for all your very kind comments. Its always been a REALLY nice thing to know you've contributed ? something. But step 12 was always pretty awesome for that kind of thing. One of my favorite highs!<BR/><BR/>But yeah its nice to get compliments but It reminds me of a Winston Churchill quote in the power of now book.. <BR/>I will have to look it up. Something about the MASSIVE contradiction between the perception by others and the deeply ! unflattering and highly conflicted inner condition one lives with. Deeply flawed and what have you. Can't remember it exactly, but I will have to jot it down when I find it.<BR/>Meaning the human condition is always a bit !! ego puncturing, no matter WHAT you do really. Never mind eh? We're ALL in the same boat there, so it makes no difference...<BR/><BR/>Ah bless and thanks Ms Molly, Ms Shadow, Kathy, Phyllis, and the TOKEN guy!! Mr Kenny, for all your good wishes.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!! and I hope you guys have a GREAT !! 2008An Irish Friend of Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781376087404079818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-26353889895243908882008-01-01T06:08:00.000+00:002008-01-01T06:08:00.000+00:00Congratulations!

I'd love to give you a big ole hug and squeeze in person. But alas, I hope a cyber HUG and MUUUUAH kiss will do for now. You are an inspiration to me and I am so grateful for you being YOU and for your sharing of all the resources on your blog. Your blog has been so helpful to me in almost every "step" of sobriety so far. And I was thinking about how I said I wonder if someone like me could find a spiritual teacher.. And I realized - ya know?? I kinda already have one - YOU!! It's funny to me how if we just step back and PAUSE for a brief moment that something we wanted was actually there all along. <BR/><BR/>Gosh, I really just can't thank you enough for your encouragement and gracious sharing of experience, strength and hope. Thank you my friend - from the very very bottom of my heart and soul. <BR/><BR/>love you,<BR/>molly :)mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-52530769932797544342007-12-31T11:29:00.001+00:002007-12-31T11:29:00.001+00:0021 years.... congratulations! you are an inspirati...21 years.... congratulations! you are an inspiration!!!<BR/><BR/>thanks for the link, must still check it out, too many people around me at the moment but i'll certainly have time in the new year to enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>happy new year!!!Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-74039796243315392942007-12-31T11:29:00.000+00:002007-12-31T11:29:00.000+00:0021 years.... congratulations! you are an inspirati...21 years.... congratulations! you are an inspiration!!!<BR/><BR/>thanks for the link, must still check it out, too many people around me at the moment but i'll certainly have time in the new year to enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>happy new year!!!Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-51269728762026149662007-12-31T07:49:00.000+00:002007-12-31T07:49:00.000+00:00Congratulations and celebrations!
