heard a line the other day on a commercial. If I am wrong, please correct me. "You aren't losers, you just don't know how to be winners yet." Or something to that effect. Like I said, if it is wrong, let me know and let me know where it came from.....I think it was the movie Gridiron, but not 100%.

Hi Kaiti and any who follow. Well, I'm retired so the days of the week make no difference. For many years I longed for Fridays and Saturday when I could sleep late. Now I can sleep late or get up early (8 AM ) whichever pleases me. I've earned my leisure.

Leisure isn't the only thing in my life, though. I get together with a friend who lives in the same building and drive him to his medical appointments and shopping. (I have a car and he doesn't.) We then go to a restaurant or the diner for late lunch.

Sobriety is great! I could not have lived long enough to enjoy retirement if I was still drinking. I would have died 30 years ago. I am grateful to my Higher Power and AA for everything I have today.

A happy Friday to all of you who still have to work. Motherhood is not work; it is giving one's life and love to children. It is a special calling from God.

Hello Kaiti, Citoig and all who follow! A kind of dreary day here in Michigan, but that's usually the way it is in winter here.

Kaiti ~ It's nice to meet you! I haven't been around of quite awhile, but I used to post here all the time! Citoig and I go wayyyy back, don't we Citoig? LOL. Anyway Kaiti, bless your heart for working and ALSO having to care for 2 kids!!! Your work is NEVER done! My 2 kids are both grown, but now it seems they've both moved back home. Good grief. Don't take this the wrong way because I love them both, but I doubt I'll ever get rid of them! lol. Thank God I've been sober for a good while, or I'd have started drinking over this! My Higher Power and the Big Book keep me sober.

Citoig ~ So good to see you posting still! I should be shot for not posting more often, but for awhile my daughter had to commandeer my monitor. Her's bit the dust and since she's in college, her papers & "homework" must be done on computer so she had to take my monitor. Finally, she got one of her own!!! Plus I've been in physical therapy for quite awhile, and after I get out of there, the last thing I've wanted to do is SIT in front of a computer!!! Those people (at therapy) surely can make a person HURT!!! But I know it's for my own good ~ I think???? I'm glad to hear you're ok and still getting out and about. I hope your friend is doing well ~ a while back I seem to remember your saying that you were concerned about his health. Just make sure you take good care of YOU!

Hope all have a great day. Isn't this a grand day to be sober??? EVERY day is a good day when you're not drunk/high!!! I can still remember my last drunk, and it gives me the shivers ~ I hope I NEVER forget it!!! God bless everyone! Love, Lee

Great to see you, Lee. I am at fault too; I should have e-mailed you. We'v had "real winter" weather for the past couple of days. It's been cold but clear and I guess the chill feels good. The warm weather in December was "unnatural". I am NOT one of those global warming kooks; I just don't believe it. The earth's climate just goes through these cycles.

Have a great day.
