My beautiful granddaughters playing in the sand.... it is good.I got to go to a meeting this morning... it is good.
I get to bake a pie to take to an AA picnic today... it is good.
All my children are within a 100 mile radius this year, and I am in the same radius... it is good.
No one in my family is serving in a war this year... it is good.
That we live in a country where young men and women are willing to voluntarily defend our freedoms... it is good.
That we get to be sober, alive, functional human beings... it is incredibly good.
Happy Independence Day to you all.
"The more we become willing to depend upon a Higher Power, the more independent we actually are. Therefore, dependence as AA practices it is really a means of gaining true independence of the spirit." Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 37

Wanted to say hello.I have been reading for awhile & finally linked you. I read your effect letter & was hooked on your blog.I'm also a runner & really envy your trip.Running is always easier when the scenery is spectacular.
It's ALL good.
Maybe "functional human beings" is going a bit far.
But damn we do try!!!!
Hope you had a good 4th; freedom from those nasty Brits..! ;-)
I agree...we are very blessed.
