At this point, all you really need is a truly open mind. (Twelve Steps and Twelve Tradi¬tions). The second aspect of Step Two concerns sanity. "Sanity" involves living sanely. Since this step is about the restoration of sanity, how can this occur? It may seem "nut...

Saturday, December 18, 2010. This is too cool! A driver at work saw this doll in the hospital gift shop and thought OMG that's Phyllis! So he bought it and brought it in for me.

And I have a brand spanking new PURPLE coat! So the next day I wore them to work. We laughed all day! Now to the diet! Having Diabetes is a challenge be...

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. INDIFFERENCE: NOT CARING ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG - NOT CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THEIR WELFARE - NOT CARING ABOUT GOD AND HIS WILL. 1 Am I indifferent to the needs of my family? 2 Am I indifferent to the desires of my family? 3 Am I indifferent to the feelings of other people? 4 Do I try to understand and sympathize with others? 5 Do I try to understand the needs of others? 6 Do I try to do something about the needs of others? 10 Do I start and end each day by thanking God?

Saturday, October 10, 2009. The North Cascades Highway. Today Sherry (my sister-in-law) and I took a trip up the North Cascades Highway to get a hamburger at the Twisp River Pub. And to see the Fall colors. The colors aren't quite out yet but we did see a few beautiful spots. It is a relaxing 4 hour day trip. We did see a dusting of snow at the Pass which is over 5,000 feet high. This is Sherry. We left about 10:30AM and got home about 9:00PM. The hamburger was the best I've ever tasted! Boundary is appr...
