Ahhh Dinner and a movie doesnt it sound grand? I think so, I was thinking about it earlier, I believe I need to cultivate some friends to have such an event take place…New friends that is…
I have had a rather outstanding day with many things to be greatful for, Sobriety being top of the list, my health and the presence of my HIGHER POWER is pretty awesome.
