I have been busy lately - my department's Expo in October, all my other work, and arranging for an art exhibition at City Hall in October. Some days I feel like I am losing ground, but I can only do what I can do in a day, and then do what I can in the next day. One day at a time.
I have selected several nice pictures for the gallery - mostly from patients at a physical thereapy hospital. Two people - a man and a young woman - have done beautiful paintings using mouth sticks, because they can't control their bodies, and they are an inspiration to the hope and high spirits of people who rise above difficulties. I only hope that I can do the same. I guess I have risen above difficulties and probably have more courage than I give myself credit for.
I also ordered condoms for the AIDS prevention section of my department. I wonder what they think of someone ordering over 2,500 condoms. They must think I am really in demand!
I talked with an AA friend in Florida but she is OK - no huricaine damage. However, I did find out from Tony that his sister lost her house to Ike and we bought her a new one. I hate surprises like that, but it beats a casino bill! Also, things like this make me grateful that I do have the ability to help others.
I did see a friend take a 27year cake at an AA meeting today and that was nice. Also saw a newcomer at the second meeting in two days.
More later.

Hey, you are sounding excellent and doing the footwork...filling in the moments, moment to moment. I, honestly, still working to understand this, experience this, and how to continue growth for a Higher Power...one day atta time.
2500 condoms...that's preparation! Some sites say they are 88% effective meaning 8.8 out of each ten doesn't break during the "roll."
Good you don't have, so to speak, idle time -- the "devil's workshop." Keep on trucking -- you are an excellent example of Program to yours truly.
