Sometimes when I'm singing, I am just doing so to get to the good part. But this morning, as I was singing the boring low tones of the chorus, I realized, that sometimes a wise person can get more from the low notes, than a fool could get singing the high ones. I was the fool thinking that the song would sou...

My sister is #1 on my graditude list. She is my biggest supporter in sobriety. And sometimes, her lack of knowledge and her concern teach me more than she knows. This week, she told me she's happy that we are still as close now as we were when we were using together. To her it means I really love her, and ca...
