Vicky..Thanks for the compliments, and Thank You for posting "Footprints"

I think about Footprints often, as there have been mamy many times in my life where there were but one set of footprints in the sand, and I believe that our journey with pd, that we are not alone in that respect..A good friend of mine who I fished with for many years said that there would be trials in life that test our faith, and that these experiences would always strengthen our faith, and strengthen our character

Jaye..Im sure you all are having fun at the PAN Forum..Say hello to everyone for me, I really wanted to go this year, but it was not in the cards..I am there in spirit though

There arent many meetings where they open up the meeting with a reading from acceptance, but they did at that partcular one..I was with friends who picked me up, and was invited over another friends house for dinner before the meeting that evening..Even though I was in the company of good caring friends, I felt sad and my stomach was churning, as well as more symptomatic than usual..When we got to the meeting, and they read
"Acceptance", it reminded me who is in charge, and who has the Master Plan..I also realized that the decision I made, and the action that I took, was a result of what has been drilled into my head repeatedly, that "I had to be willing to go any lengths for my sobriety"..and a temporary peace came over me, and I knew in spite of how I felt, that I did the right thing, and that it was ok to feel the way I feel about it..Thats the way Im supposed to feel

Your liitle prayer at the end reminds me of this one:..

Lord, Thank You for what you have given me
For what you have taken from me
And for what you have left me with
