It's good to have entered my 18th month of sobriety.
'Down time' will occur of course, and I endeavour to grow through such.
In my drunken, drugged up past, I used and drank, to overcome. This simply perpetuated the initial error.

Canadian Thanksgiving (French L'Action de grāce) – do we have any Canadians on the thread? If so, happy day! Who can argue with at least the concept of a harvest festival? If, like me, you’re not Canadian, and like me, you find Thanksgiving Day more pleasant in theory than in fact, celebrate with the Canadians, in theory, today! Think of the word “cornucopia,” the horn of plenty. May it never be empty for you!



No matter where you are, it’s always good to remember those who had serious gratitude. I’m thinking particularly of those who go to sea, inspired by DaneK, with his hard-won milestone, and because the Wikipedia entry on Canadian Thanksgiving links its origins to the Frobisher expedition in 1578 to find the Northwest Passage, and because today is also Columbus Day in the U.S., yet another sailor. For thousands of years, those who travel the seas have fallen to their knees in gratitude on reaching land. The image below was taken on the return on the Frams expedition of Fridtjof Nansen, which went to find the North Pole in 1893, & spent most of the next 3 years roaming around the Arctic quite lost.



Whether your voyage has been one that took you over the edge of the flat earth only to find it was round, like Columbus, or that seemed to trap you in harsh and frozen places, like Frobisher, you’re on your way home, now.

May we all find safe landing here again tomorrow!

DaneK here's your imaginary 6 month chip from my box of AA Chips! And, I haven't forgotten you HeartsAFire ...a 60 Day Chip! .
Time to check in for the next 24 hours of my recovery, thanks to my HP & AA.
