Fri. For Today

November 11th, Mingle your joys sometimes with your earnest occupations. Linnaeus We OAs can be very somber indeed. To be sure, compulsive overeating is a serious business, but so is alcoholism - and there is a great deal of joy and laughter at AA meetings. AAs love a good joke, especially when it is on themselves. Oh, it is entirely true that fat is no laughing matter, and God knows we've been ridiculed enough. Still - it's good to laugh, to blow away that "heavy does it" attitude when it descends on me like a thundercloud. For today: Joy and lightheartedness are never out of place.

Jeannie-I have been really busy lately and haven't been online much at all. I did want to let you know though--I have read of some of your difficulties and my thoughts are with you. I hope everything turns out ok. Hubby comes in next week--right? That is good news, bet you are looking forward to that. You are just the sweetest person and you deserve only good things. {{{hugs}}}

Jeannie Prayer changes things. I have read about the struggles that you are going through but you know there can't be a testimony without a test. So be strong in your faith. By the way I will be in Sarosota Florida attending a retreat mid January. Hoping it it is not far from you. Raven
