I heard it said that these are dark days for our nation. I wondered, according to who? why am I to agree? I do have free will and a choice, do I not? That is my decision, to embrace what is, and to choose to see it as my opportunity to infect my sphere ofContinue reading “Is it really so?”

Bring it!
I am going to attempt to share an attitude emerging into my consciousness. As with almost all attempted descriptions regarding the spiritual, words are spectacularly insufficient. I am in fact quite comfortable delving into the obscure. The impetus of this new attitude is a realization that, the degree of intensity with which I desire thingsContinue reading “Bring it!”
But wait!
I am referring to my previous post.https://wtfaiblog.wordpress.com/2021/01/19/id-love-to/ I was remembering this song from my youth and thought it relevant. As the song says, I don’t know what to do.

Acceptance- “Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God’s world by mistake.” pp 449 AlcoholicsContinue reading “Where are We?”
Hold on there Bucko
Don’t be so quick to put the experience of 2020 behind you. I’m talking to myself here. A promise offered in “The Big Book” Alcoholics Anonymous “We will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it.” and “We will see how our experience can benefit others.” These are taken out ofContinue reading “Hold on there Bucko”
