Cairngorm autumn
He controls the times and the seasons; he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding. -Daniel 2:21 (GNT)

 I saw this scripture posted on Celebrate Recovery's Facebook page and wanted to share it with everybody who might not be on Facebook or 'like' the Celebrate Recovery page. Autumn is probably my favorite season of the year [hard to say for sure because I like them all] and it is a good reminder of who gives it the beauty that is has. Living in New England as I do, I am blessed with an obvious change of seasons and the outdoor beauty that it can bring. Even the dead of winter can be made splendorous in appearance by the sparkle of ice or the clean brightness of freshly fallen snow. Being alive and sober through God's grace has allowed me the use of my senses to truly enjoy the world around me and brings a newness to it all.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all you have done and continue to do for me. Praise God for sobriety.

Halloween 2011

This will be our first Halloween in the new house.  We bought tons of candy to hand out, so we will be ready for just about anything.  When we lived in Taftville, we had at least 200 show up at the door.  Of course, that neighborhood has always been big on Halloween and even holds an annual parade hosted by the local Fire Department who hands out treats to the kids.  A nice thing to do, but it sure brings the kids in! I am not sure what Romeo is going to be up to this year -- hopefully he will get dressed up (I think he is planing to be Captain America again this year, since that particular character is the order of the day in recent times).  Whatever transpires, I will, of course, post pictures! Karen is still out of work and the situation is very frustrating for her and affects us both on different levels.  Most importantly, I hate to see her suffering as a result of this accident.  At least, it seems that there is some progress being made.  ...

Suggested Links

This post is all about other places on the Web I have found that offer recovery resources worth checking out. I shall begin with a personal favorite: The Jaywalker .  This site offers all sorts of things from humorous to quite serious.  There are step guides, photos, funny things like “Rent-A-Sponsor” and links to other sites.  So please check out the Jaywalker. There are times when I can’t find the right medallion locally or need some sort of recovery-related gift or item outside of the Internet.  When this is the case, I turn to the Recovery Emporium .   I have ordered many things from them in the past with satisfaction.  Things were delivered quickly, in good shape and as ordered. If you are in Connecticut, a very valuable resource is the Area 11 Web site: www.ct-aa.org .  There you will find contact information for various committees, meeting schedules for the entire state and listings of local events by district (if somebody bothered to submit...
