| My HP has a funny sense of humor
This morning, as I do every morning, I prayed for guidance, strength, and direction. In the last couple of days, I have: Been with Mom & Daughters for B-Day celebration (Hers, not mine) Taken my youngest shopping for her Homecoming dance and arranged for her dress, transportation, sleepover with friends (here), etc. Told "Jeff", a newcomer, I'd take him through the steps. Told "Eric", the same. Fielded a call from my transient brother in law. He wants a place to live, which I won't do, but I did tell him I'd drive him to Salvation Army. I pick him up in a couple of hours and we'll prolly go after I take him to dinner & catch up on lost time. This is besides going to work, meetings, walking the dogs, and other domestic stuff. "And grant me the strength as I go out from here to do your bidding" *whew* Hey, I'm sober though

GP it sounds as though your HP is giving you a sense of purpose also!!! Keep at it my friend, you are helping yourself by giving away freely what was freely given to you!
