That's a great bracelet!

Bill, did you happen to see the Opening Ceremony of this summer's Olympics, which were held in Rio?

At one point the band launched into "The Girl from Ipanema" and Gisele Bundchen came gliding out. She was wearing a shimmering silver gown, and it was utterly magnificent!

I don't know if her hair is floppy, but it was long!

Dear Suze: You wrote, "..there is a light in my eyes and a smile on my face that I haven't seen since I was 16 years old. I remember this girl, and I LIKE this girl."
That says it all! And we all hope that "this girl" is back with us for good! ("Hello Dolly!") You're "back where you belong!" Not everyone makes it on the long road back. With sobriety you have riches more than all the gold in Fort Knox. Congratulations on what you have been able to do. Let your recovery be exponential from now on.
Fondly,

Bill.

No. Didn't catch it. Nerds don't watch the Olympics. They watch old movies on BBC.

Here's nerding at you, kid!

Suze, I love that you have found the light in your eyes again and the girl you used to be. I am SO happy for you as you begin this fantastic adventure. The bracelet is beautiful.

Suze, I am getting so excited for you! Will you be able to show us photos as you arrive and then move on to other places? I hope so!

Of course Anna love ~ I am taking you guys with me all of the way.
I will be here every day, still doing my lists on the 24-hour thread (except when I'm on the plane, and Goat will post for me ).

I am very tired, and a bit nervous, but after I have my final doctor's appt today and then actually pack, well, I may just relax a little.

I leave for the airport tomorrow at 7am...

I am so grateful for all of your love and support ~ we all got me here.
I honestly don't think I could have done this on my own.

SO much love.
