rambling thoughts

I've no particular thought on my mind today, so this will be a bit of this and a bit of that.

Saw a very good program friend over the weekend. She went to her first Area World Service Committee meeting. Lots of questions from her on the way home about our organization/structure. It really can be quite overwhelming. I highly recommend looking at the org chart on page 157 of the Service Manual. You can even look at it on online. The service manual is accessed through the members website at http://www.al-anon.org/members/
The service manual part you want is at http://www.al-anon.org/members/pdf/p2427/P2427_115_162.pdf.

It probably doesn't help that we can so easily fall into acronym use too, plus the identification of "Alternate" positions.

Work for me has been going along pretty well and busy, so no complaints on that front. Pottery class is starting again tomorrow night so I'm looking forward to that.

I finished Step 3 and just need to review it with my sponsor now. Did I mention that before? :-)
It is funny because the program friend I saw over the weekend, showed up with her Paths To Recovery book and was going to have me answer questions on the way to the meeting in Burlington. She had no idea I had been working the steps and yet I could swear I had told her!

My oldest niece is turning 15 in a couple of weeks. I'm feeling like an old fogie and I'm only 42! I remember holding her in my arms like it was yesterday. geez, where does the time go?

I'm looking forward to my meeting tonight. I miss my home group folks and I'm sad to say I didn't make it to any of my usual 3 meetings last week. That makes for a not good Angela B.

Well, it is time for me to duck out of here and head to that meeting. It is such a part of my Monday night schedule that it really does throw me all out of whack when I miss it.

Hugs to you all! (my sponsor says you need 6/day to grow!)
Angela B.
