 Oops, missed a day. Life happens. I could say I was busy yesterday, but I was busy today as well and here I am. I knew I was going to a birthday celebration this evening so I spent my morning baking cookies and making a cheesecake. I also met with a few of the people I sponsor and a fellow that I used to sponsor years ago came over and installed a ceiling fan in the dining room. I offered to pay him for his service but he turned me down. I was also able to get to the fabric store and pick up some yarn for some scarves that I'm working on and at the end of the day we did make it to the birthday meeting, so that was good. I managed to present one of the ladies with her own god box. Life for me these days is about helping people, especially new people. That is probably the biggest change for me from the old me. In my other life, I cared only for one person...me. Now, I try to be of maximum usefulness to God and to those around me. It's because of a deal I made with the God of my understanding about 28 years ago. I asked him to take away my difficulties and in return I promised to help as many of my fellows as I am able to. Most good ideas are simple.
