Hola!

It’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, a holiday I’ve particularly loved since I’ve been in recovery. It’s about food and gratitude and I plan to be awash in both! As far as gratitude goes, what I think I’m most deeply grateful for is the deep comfort I feel with just being myself and living my own life.

It comes of course from my partnership with the great Whatever (H.P., God, whatever), from working the Steps, and from the fellowship.

So here’s to life and all it gives me for which I’m thankful.
