Kathy, love of my life,
CONGRATS on Twenty-two (22) years clean.
Thank you for being a huge part
of my active recovery life.
so i guess i need to finish packing my “go” bag and dress out for the climb today. it is a good day to get above the ninety degree heat and out into some “fresher” air. i have a busy four days ahead of me, so i think i will take a breath and enjoy this day and worry about all of that, when the time comes, OR NOT! it is a good day to be clean and one i am excited to be living in the here and now.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
2) What is meant by speaking thus of favour and disgrace? Disgrace
is being in a low position (after the enjoyment of favour). The getting
that (favour) leads to the apprehension (of losing it), and the losing
it leads to the fear of (still greater calamity):--this is what is
meant by saying that favour and disgrace would seem equally to be
feared. And what is meant by saying that honour and great calamity
are to be (similarly) regarded as personal conditions? What makes
me liable to great calamity is my having the body (which I call myself);
if I had not the body, what great calamity could come to me?
