Hi guys, just checking in from Cicada Central. No storms, wind, rain or hail seems to drive them away. They continue to buzz and fly around like crazy. I am getting a little teensy weensy bit - okay I am bleeping SICK - of them!!!
Ahem.
My evening plans entail taking new friend to our women's meeting tonight. She is legally blind and young, in her twenties. Basically, one day she noticed her normal vision was getting blurry and, boom, less than a year after that she went blind. Became a raging alkie. Drank hard for a couple years. Finally joined AA and has 18 months sober now and a purpose in life. Just got accepted to law school.
If that doesn't make you feel grateful I don't know what will. Anyway I have committed to taking her to meetings on Thursdays. She is going to start law school in the fall and dedicate herself to disability law. Talk about making lemonade when life hands you a lemon!
Bye for now. Hope everyone stays strong this evening, whatever it takes.
