    Howdy,
 Kind of chilly in the shack this morning.
I like to start the day with a glass of water so I get the morning drink,
and go to build a fire.
  Paper, cow pea hulls, small twigs, getting the tee pee effect right, then the ONE match.  If I took my time and gave this careful consideration one match will do it.
  Early in recovery and old timer gave me the book "To build a fire ". Something about
paying attention to things. Not to take to much for granted.
  Today I light the match. Will it work ?  Was I careful ? Was I thorough in my preparation ? Yes !!
  My wife and I are toasty warm.
Might be that everything is connected to everything.

I second Danielle's comments Toad. I understand that in USA they have 12-step meetings for anyone who wants to change their path in life called AWOl ( A Way Of Life) Shame we don't have them everywhere, what a better place we would live in f everyone (or one in one hundred even) went to these meetings

UMMM, sounds so very cozy and warm, how truly awesome life can feel when we can see, smell, hear and have all our other  senses working.

Hope you and your wife have a truly wonderful day today!!

Hugs Toad,

Toni

Always excellent posts, Toad.

Indeed, every thing is everything!

And what A Way Of Life it is! Turns out AA is the easier, softer way.

Thank you all for being here.
