Changing of the guard.

I started this road of happy destiny over 33 years ago.

I first wanted to just learn how to live life without alcohol, then I wanted to learn how to be of service, then I wanted to lead meetings and be the one in charge.

I was humbled a few times by my egoic responses to life and I learned I could offer my ideas and work with others to help create healthy grow in AA.

That was many years ago and today I, and a number of others who have been walking this path for years have sat back and lovingly watched as the next generation takes the lead.

I did the same thing in my career as an alcohol and drug therapist. In 25 years, I started from an internship, worked my way to a clinical supervisor position and then back to a counselor job.

I did struggle with the changes, and I am guilty of whining and complaining along the way and yet here I sit, watching from the sidelines, appreciating all that I have learned along the way.

This is the way of the humans, we experience, express, create and then watch as the next ones improve on our creations.

I live in joy and appreciation for this amazing experience we call life.

May each of you allow yourself the gift of creating your visions!

You are Love and Loved.
