Have a heart.

It’s like constantly having a bowl of dead fish shoved right under your nose. Gad. On second thought, I’d prefer the fish.

That picture would drive anyone to drink.

We are looking for our dear friend Jennifer. Have you seen her? We know that she was taking a break from blogging for a bit but suddenly she has vanished. What have you done with her? All of her readers are now concerned. When you see her again can you please remind her that we are still here waiting for her? Please send her our ((hugs)) and best wishes.

Thank You!

The Freely Living Life Family <3

Hope things are going well for you. Belva

LoL.

Here’s a likely quote I came across the other day. A mantra to contemplate while traversing the tundra next summer:

“I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet– and yet– it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!”

- Alice

Just the right note. I ought to have that painted on the back of my Lazy Daze somewhere. I would, if it weren’t for all those myopic drivers out there, who’d probably run right up my ass trying to read it.

Too big for a bumper sticker, too small for a billboard. Shame, that.

There is no doubt that AA does good work in the world, and there’s an impressive authenticity to people who have already been where you think you were headed.

But friends that have attended tell me that it is also true that after a while the bar talk grows tedious, and the salvation stuff becomes an excuse for drama for those even a little given to that addiction.

There’s no zeal like that of the recently converted sinner. Or maybe you just ended up in a good group, and my friends didn’t.

Glad you’re back in any case.

You are so right about AA, for me it think part of the sentiment exists as a result from hitting an ultra low (some rock bottom) point in life, reactively causing a completely renewed perspective on things where comradery is up significantly on the importance scale, certainly higher than protection against embarrassment from how one thinks/acts or has thought/acted.

It makes me happy to sense that you are recognizing this desire for comradery. Aside from experiencing it in AA, I think you have created a comradery of your own in a sense with this blog and I’d bet you’d also be able to find a way to meet that need while doing other things as well – possibly even hitting the road in a Winnebago.
