Good morning.  So am trying to continue to blog so I can remain accountable, etc.  Went to a great big book meeting last night with some friends from church.  It is funny how we each get something different from the meeting.  They know the regular person in charge of meeting and he was not there.  The guy subbing (I guess thats wee call it) they also knew and did not think highly of.  Obviously they were not going to tell me that.  Even though they said the guy was full of sh*t I got so much out of things he said.  He put alot of parts of the book into persepctive and actually got me answering questions, etc.  After the meeting they held onto him being full of it but after seeing some added life in me they were glad we went.    Of course they got me thinking.....do I always go to the messed up people...lol.  Seriously though at times I thought he was a bit far offish but I wasl istening to his message, whether or not it is true or made up or read from a  book.  The message I got  was one of more hope and part of the reason I got the guy was probably b/c I've been so full of sh*t myself for most of my previous journeys toward sobriety :)

Anyway, just wanted to touch base and stuff.  Have a beautiful day.  I'm off to the beach.

Hugs my friends,

Jenn

I get so much more out of what someone says when I don't know they don't walk their talk. Sometimes it's just not important.

My favorite quote on this is "listen to the message, not the messenger".

Lucky you! I've wanted to go to the beach all Summer-long, and I haven't hit a pool in possibly over two years. Showers? Every day. But not the pool or ocean.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the speaker's message. Plus, recovery is a journey for the self, and you need to focus on you...not what other people believe or whatnot. Good to get something out of a place where you seek knowledge for growth, hm?

I also use the blogs for accountability. So, keep on blogging!

Blessings for today and the everyday,

+R
