Hi All...
I'm new here, but an old campaigner in recovery. What a nice site! (even if I can't access chat) I'm glad I found it.

Here's a contribution from one of our local oldtimers....short, sweet and to the point...

"If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, there's a good chance that you'll p*** all over today."

I came across this back in March I believe and I loved it then and still love it. Thanks so much for posting it here.

Love,

Karen

Deb,

I have read and re-read this post. I needed this after some very rough spots at work the past few days. A constant reminder that I am not the center of the universe....Peace

Hi Debbie,

I'm new here and just discovered this post yesterday and was truly blown away by it. I printed it out and sent a copy to everyone I know. It currently has a home in front of my computer so it can be the first thing that I read every morning for inspiration to start my day.

Thank you so much for sharing something so special.

Debbie · 11-07-2004, 02:33 PM

Hey everyone,

I have a lot going on in my life (my husband passed away the end of Sept) and I haven't been here as much as I should be.

I am so glad that you all like this writing. The moment I read it I knew it had to be at the top.

Hope everyone is doing great!!

Hugs to you all,
Debbie
