AMENDED: VIEWPOINTS

Continental Divide in Glacier National Park. We visited our college friends who live in Libby, MT...

What BEAUTY as the sun rose over these mountains.

Anna was so frightened, driving on the narrow one-lane mountain roads



RANDOM THOUGHTS


When drinking I suspected I was the only person in the world. Sober now, I realize there is no one left to read this.

The day I stopped drinking, that was the day my troubles began. That was the day I realized I had big problems.

When finally one day I quit trying to make good things happen, good things just happened.

The day I changed...everything changed.

Our house is paid for.
We are broke.
Our neighbors have money.
We are paying for their houses.

Blogging is good for me.
A blogger said pull out weeds by root.
Make room for grass to grow.
I pulled weeds today.
Hurt my back. Wow!
Blogging is good for me.
Pulling weeds is not.

I love my Suzuki bike.
It is almost one year old.
I've laid it down only five times.
Only one collision.
Pickup truck failed to make right turn on RED.
Right on his tail, I did not fail to do so.
Bike is old for its age.

I love riding in small planes.
I love riding my scooter bike.
Riding bike gives same feeling as in plane.
That same rush, gravity pull and thrill.
Plane 0-60 in ten seconds.
Bike 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.

My desk is a mess.
I might have to clean it up.
Papers and book piled high.
Some sliding off onto floor.
Q. Where will everything be stored?
A. Wherever I cannot find it.

I love Alcoholics Anonymous.
I love the people there, my true friends.
(And the bloggers...I cannot find the words...)
I go there every day.
My bike knows the way.
My bike is on Step 4.
My scooter has a Harley for a sponsor.

I love my home.
I love my wife, her family.
I love my family with extensions.
We agree on everything...always.
I just wrote a lie...old bad behavior.
God, I thank you for everything!

I've got to go to bed soon.
Or my wife will say, Why are you getting up so early?
And, in order to keep peace,
I'll just have to get dressed, and stay up.
(Yawwwn!)

Stay sober today with me and with each other, OK?

In LOVE and Service,
Sincerely.
Steve E.
