I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

  10. TWENTY YEARS--GOOD JOB, GOD!!!

    Mike, this is a statistic: For every Recovering alcoholic who reaches 20 years of continuous sobriety, (18,000 EIGHTEEN THOUSAND!)
    have entered the rooms and left to drink some more.

    I am not a statistics proponent in AA, but this one has clout, and documentation from Dallas TX AA Inter Group...based on numbers of chips sold over a period of time

    CONGRATULATIONS to YOU and to GOD and to AA (Thanks for tipping me off, Mike! Would not have wanted to miss this party!
