I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep last evening so got out of bed and came into the livingroom and watched some late night TV with the misses until I was over done on all sides and came in to try the bed again.
I opened myself up to relaxing, joyful thoughts and John our founder snuck into my head. I put out two lines of gratitude...first to HP for John and then to John for MIP and passed out.
I know that as a person gets older sleep gets later (for some) so I tire myself out a bit rummaging thru the tools of serenity so my spirit relaxes. My elder sponsor Don T. dropped a knowing smile by and we were done.
Of course all of you here at and in MIP were here also...I hope you all got home well and on time. (((((hugs)))))
Nicely done Jerry - nicely done! I think about John each and every time I stop by MIP! After all, if the God of his understanding hadn't 'put a bug in his ear' for this great forum, we would NOT have each other. He left us a wonderful gift to share and carry on in his honor and absence. I wish you continued joy today and always brother!
