      You were the fairy godmother all along. :) Beautiful picture.

       

      As a relative newbie here, I very much appreciate your thoughtful, cogent, and above all KIND posts. There is clear Wisdom from you.

  2. I like your down-to-earthness. Are those your horses? I'm without one right now and missing them terribly.

  3. Kate - what is wuji? (I could google it but I'd like to hear how you see it in the horse picture!)

  4. I just love you, my friend.

  5. Thanks for taking the time to explain that. I've got another question that I just saw on a thread - what's wu and yo? (I think that's it). I've never had any formal training at anything, so I really don't know much of the terminology.

  6. You pretty much rock yourself, friend. Thanks for the kind words.

  7. Thanks anyway, I picked it up later in the thread.

  8. 3deedit - I looked at your wonderful variation of the TTC. I will spend more time reading it! I did notice that in Chapter 24 (I think it was 24) you indicate that a man standing on tiptoes doesn't stand form - did you mean firm? Might be a typo?

  9. Andrew - what a nice addition to the Bums you are. I look forward to many more of your comments.

  10. Hi fizix - so glad to meet another 12 stepper here. I no longer to to meetings, been sober 30 years - but the steps were crucial in starting the tearing down process which was to precipitate my path. Glad to meet you...

  12. I always enjoy what you have to say, Sloppy.

  13. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you have to say. Always.

  14. Hello Penny - I am loving your posts - so nice to have you here.

  15. Thank you for your unselfishness and your beautiful insights.

  16. Hello to you Straw Dog. How I love your name. I really appreciate your posts,they speak to my heart. Thanks.

  17. Thanks for the kind words, moonshadow. See you around -

  18. Good morning Marbles. I see we're both up and at it early this AM. Can't sleep - trying to wean myself off sleeping meds.

  19. Hi cousin - just adding you as a friend.

  20. Thanks, on the avatar. I think I can live with this one for a while. The stringbean aspect of it is a real testament to my computer skills. So 'Sun in my eyes' refers to the fact that you are a climber? I think you're my newest hero.

  21. Hi KC - nice to have you here. I'm a recovery person too. I find the steps were invaluable for doing the inner work - gives you a clear field to play on.

  22. Wow, Mr. 3bob. You're got some nice, balanced things to say and your understanding seems to have quantum reach.

  23. Just dropping in to say hi. With that beautiful picture as your avatar you must be a peaceful and loving creature.

  24. Hi Starshine - glad to see you on the forum. Hopefully we'll hear more from you in the future...
