Cherry Blosssems!!!!! Sorry for the sentamental tears streaming from my frozen eye lids, but I'm from Southern Ontario and it is still cold and still rainy and nothing is growing and it is soooo depressing. The only good part is that I started a job that involves working in a tin shop and up till now I have been inside... But tommorow...they move me out. Praise be to God for your husbands life, although I am sorry for your temporary loss. THere is nothing more than peace with your higher power that one could ask for. To be able to say that says alot about a persons life and the kind of person they are/were. I fight mine daily and it is a tooth and nail battle as to who's will is going to be accomplished. I just pray that its his and not mine! I have been in the program for seven years of continous sobriety. Of course I know where it comes from and I give credit where credit is due. I am 27 and and a struggling Musician/Student/Labourer and on a good day I can honestly say that I am in the process of deciding wether or not to become a Catholic priest. Lately its been a touchy subject with me. I have this music bug and I am always wanting to put out an album. I play Classical at a high level of achievement/blues and my own original which is a cross of folk and jazz with melancholy words as I can only write when I am upset. My home town is Stratford and my home group is the Monday night first step group. It is a step meeting. I prefere Big book and Step meetings to general discussion and open meetings althoug I attend any. I am uncle to two nephews and one niece I just got out of a six month preseminary program in a kind of monastary thing ( actually a lay apostolate) called Madonna house. THey have and extensive web page that can be found by searching under Madonna house if you are interested. This is probably more detailed than you expected but I am too tired to actually sensor or edit my thought as I type.

A friend gave me the following on a print. *** Why a beer is better than a woman *** 1) Your beer will always wait patiently for you in the car. 2) When you go to a bar, you know you can always pick up a beer. 3) If you pour a beer right , you will always get good head. 4) You can't catch anything but a "buzz" from a beer. 5) Beer doesn't whine, it bubbles. 6) If you change beers, you don't have to pay alimony. 7) Beer doesn't complain about the way you drive. 8) Beer is always easy to pick up. 9) Big, fat beers are nice to have. 10) Beer is easy to get into. 11) You rarely (if ever) find beer labels on the shower curtain rod. Then of course there * Why a beer is better then a man * But were not going to go into that one just yet! hehehe :-) Hope you fond it funny...
