Hello Everyone,
So this morning I was thinking about putting the Gratitude Dinner Flyer on the home page of our AA website. I added it to our “Media” library. That was easy. Then I figured out a way to put it up there in place of the picture of the front door, but I couldn’t figure out how to put it in the same spot. Once I had it up there, I didn’t like the way it looked so I put the front door picture up there again but it is now in a different spot. It’s at the top of the Home Page rather than to the side. Let’s see if anyone notices – of course Steve will see that and comment but that’s because he reads this blog!
I’m also having trouble with the site. I can’t get the “new meeting” form to work. There are a couple of meetings I need to add to the data base and I can’t figure out how to work it. I’m trying to get Gary G to help with this. So far I have been unsuccessful. It’s very frustrating for me. I miss BOB! I even reached out to Bob about this to see if I can add a meeting to the data base at GoDaddy. That is the only way I can make changes to existing meetings right now. I haven’t heard back from him either. So I’m doing my best to be kind and patient, but I’m being tested!
It is 64 degrees this morning! I have the front door open and the full sliding doors pushed open all of the way. It is cooling down the house to 76 degrees right now from 79 degrees. I’m hoping to get it down to about 73 or so before the day warms up. I’ll turn off the AC for a while. I sure hope this cool weather lasts – it’s supposed to last through the weekend which is awesome.
Doing my Saturday morning chores. Laundry in – bathrooms cleaned. Next will come a walk and then probably going to a meeting or 2. I think I might try to go to Common Solutions consistently. They have a bunch of meetings each week and I like the Women’s meeting on Wednesday – didn’t make it this week. I’m a little “rudderless” right now. “Between Home Groups” to quote Steve. I need to get “hooked” in some how and I’m not being very successful with that either. I like the Tables of Naples Group. I may hit that meeting this morning rather than Common Solutions. I’m even considering changing my “start time” at work so I can get to a 5:30 meeting. I really like getting to work at 7:30 which gives me 1/2 hour before my boss comes in. I get through my emails and I’m ready for our morning “stand up” which we do at 8:10 each morning. So that won’t work. Then I could go to the gym after I’m done at 4 and then make a 5:30 meeting. That is the most reasonable thing to do, but I’m having trouble getting into that “routine”. I am making excuses not to go to the gym but then I’m mad at myself for not losing weight. I’m through 4 weeks of my 8 week program and I’m sure I haven’t shown any change yet. SO – new trend. I’ll get to the gym then get to Common Solutions or 24 Hour Club and the Easy Does It meeting. Still say I’m going to try to get to a Grapevine Meeting and there is one at the 24 Hour Club one night I think. At least there used to be.
OK – time to get going. I want to walk before the sun comes up. Have a beautiful day everyone!

Good Morning,
I’m finished with my walk. On with my day! Have a beautiful day today. Still holding out for what is ahead. Not making any decisions yet. I have my whole house open and I’m hearing my neighbor scrub their lanai this morning. It’s fun to have a “neighborhood” and see neighbors and hear the sounds of family!
Seize the day!

AHA! Probs with updating stuff? YOU will figure it out, Mary. TRY it! (to quote the guru!)
I got up at 6:30, read your blog…it made me tired, all the work you accomplished, cleaning, cats, walking, etc., SO I went back to sleep for ½-hour. HAHA! (Gotta blame someone!)
And fact–I am again “between home groups” I feel like ALL groups are my home. What would your old Fri group say to THAT!–grin!
That last paragraph reminded me of my own “starting out on a trip” stories. Of course I pick a direction. At I-75, I toss a coin. After that, it is “go where the wind blows” so to speak. Knowing lots of places up the east coast now, I DO have choices to make…difficult choices, ya know? It is like YOU deciding which meeting, gym, beach, walk, or what else to do on a cool Saturday morning.
Whatever it is will be GOOD, that we know, b/c that is the way it IS.
” What is, IS. What was WAS. What ain’t…..AIN’T”
ENJOY your day, my friend, hope to see you somewhere along the line. got a book you need…
BYE

Thank you for the Book. Started reading the book. It’s difficult. He gets pretty complicated so I’ll keep trying. I figure I’ll take what I understand and leave the rest. Sound familiar?
