Hello Everyone,
Well it is Sunday Morning and I’m in Miami and not getting ready for church. It feels a little weird, but it’s kind of fun “changing it up” a little. I’ll miss church next week also because I’ll be at my HS Reunion (45 years) Wow – how did that happen?
So the Quarterly is going well. The AC is really working well which is nice, but I got so cold at dinner last night I went back to my room and changed into my jeans. I was thinking about skipping the speaker and just stay in my room to watch TV, but I went back and was glad I did. The speaker was really good. He also came to the Grapevine Meeting and reported on the results of the April meeting of the delegates. It is also reported in Box 4-5-9 which is on line at aa.org. And speaking of the AA website, they have updated it quite a bit and it looks much better and is now really user friendly. I wonder if it is a WP site now? I didn’t go to the website committee meeting yesterday with Gary – I probably should have, but didn’t. Maybe he’ll report at our District meeting next week. So I wanted to share the view from my room this time. My room in Sanibel was so beautiful (I wonder if I still have that picture) and then there is this one:
Apparently I don’t have that picture, but it was a beautiful view over the pool out into the Gulf. So you take the good with the bad. It’s all about service anyway and who cares about the view (well maybe), but I must say, the bed is really comfortable and the coffee maker works. I don’t think it was working last time. I was trying to figure out how many quarterlies I’ve been to. I went to Sanibel twice, I think, then there was the one in Tampa and I’ve been over to the Miami area 3 times and it all started with the one in Naples, so that is 7. I think I skipped one so that would be 2 years. Time to rotate out, but now that I’m Grapevine Chair, I can keep coming to them. It is a nice way to get out of my comfort zone at home. The next one is in Stuart. It’s too long a drive for me and I don’t want to leave the day before – although I may change my mind about that. I could never drive it on Saturday and get there by 9AM. So I would need to go on Friday and then that would be 2 nights hotel cost. I’ll keep thinking about it. I may change my mind.
It is amazing how much I have grown in this program. I really do love it and I’m grateful for everyone who has helped me along the Road to Happy Destiny. There are so many! I will keep comin’ back!
