Grateful for a Clear Memory

I got to see the President speak at a fundraising rally last night! It was amazing, my seat was about 60 feet from the podium. Check it out!

I had to wait in line for 20 minutes at the bar to buy a bottle of water, after two drunk old ladies cut in front of me -- they knew what they were doing, they were talking about it, after I told them the end of the line was "back there." It would be a resentment if I knew they weren't going to die soon. ;)

Anyway, walking to the subway station afterward, I just thought of all the amazing bands I had seen play, weddings I had attended, trips I had taken, and other inspiring events I had been to that I don't really have much of a memory of, because I was too drunk. I was so thankful to be sober and to know that I was going to remember all of the details.

I no longer feel like my life is just washing over me while the high points are lost in a fog. This will be a positive memory for years to come. I'm so grateful!

What a treat-lucky you! (the President, not the tipsy line-cutters)

I hated those foggy pastures too. I'm glad my mental             faculties have returned -thank God. We wish you many           more memorable moments...one day at a time.

                   ~God bless~
