This is that time of the year (Jan 5) that I celebrate the anniversary of what I've come to call "THE BREAKING OF THE RESOLUTIONS DAY".  Hee Hee Hee....maybe some of you can relate:)

Make New Year’s goals.  Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year.  This helps you do your part.  It is an affirmation that you’re interested in fully living life in the year to come.



Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious, and subconscious level.



Goals give our life direction.



What would you like to have happen in your life…

is anyone here??

I have been threatened by a member, to have legal action taken against me for putting the birthday list on blog even if i take hers off, she says i am "outing" everyone.  Does that mean that none of us should be allowed to share our sobriety birthdays?

What is your opinion??

Tazz caught a small black tip reef shark out the front of our house & they are yummy!!!! 

Tazz is working on new years eve so i am going out with a friend in recovery & her family & some of her friends to the local sailing club to listen to a band.  Tropical theme so have to put a flower in my hair - cant do much about the footwear as my broken foot is still in a plaster cast & I am very sick of it lol & of not riding my new motorbike!!…

'Twas the Night before Christmas, we were all in the club,

Enjoying a meeting, instead of a pub,

The ashtrays were clean, and the coffee was made,

The Big Books were out and we all had prayed.



When out in the lot, there arose such a clatter ,

We all jumped up to see what was the…

i have been grounded now for 3 weeks with a broken bone in my foot (not from the motorbike lol)  so could not go anywhere & thought i would have the cast off to visit my family but not the case - bummer!  I dont have another x-ray for 2 weeks so i am completely grounded - cant even go shopping!!  Tazz has done all the food shopping - we are having friends over for lunch which will be nice.  

hope everyone has happy holidays

Today is a new and unique day, so fill it with new and unique experiences. Today brings valuable possibilities, so use it to create meaningful value. 



If you’ve fallen into a rut, this is your opportunity to climb out and to give yourself a fresh, new perspective. If your dreams have seemed beyond your reach, this is your chance to take another look. 



Yes, life can be difficult and painful and…

I am off on a trip for 6 days to see my family.  I am going on my own as Tazz is working & I will be riding my new motorbike - woohoo!  I haven't ridden that sort of distance ever on my own bike (its 8 hours ride) but Tazz is confident as he is the one that sees me ride.  Because I havent had my own bike for a while I was a bit worried but he & others tell me it has all came back to me quickly & i feel confident.  I wish Tazz was coming but he has short hours lately & now has…
