Happy Sunday All!
Hey, why don't we have an ODAT meet-up in Australia? Cap'n and Cindi could take us sailing, Bandit could be our tour guide, and I'm sure there are some other folks who would join in for a whale of a party (no booze, of course). Anyhoo, just wanted to check in. Had a great time last night with the family celebrating our oldest daughter's birthday. Gave her a ring that had 3 stones from a ring given to me the day she was born. Very special to pass it on with love. Feeling stronger than a couple of weeks ago when the siren call of AL started to whisper. What I'm noticing is waves (not your sailing waves, Cap'n), but waves of resolve.
Seems that the early enthusiasm gets replaced with a more mellow outlook, and the next thing I know old AL is dressing up so it thinks I won't recognize its demon-ness. The sips accelerate and even without overindulging I can feel the pull. But I've been here before, and I know I must put my foot down (and close my mouth!). So that's what I'm doing. And re-listening to my cd's and coming here. Bless you all -- have a great week.
