Zelda, sister under the skin, I am looking forward to seeing your recovery, seeing posts like Dawns and hearing about cupcakes, celebrations, sunshine and laughter. I want to be there to hear the music for Zelda.

Dawn, I can not tell you how important your posts have been to me, just knowing that you are there and having a life is fabulous, I sometimes think I see you and Molly under a tree ahead of me on the road waving. I have this image of Molly as warm friendly and a tail that endlessly wags. I do hope Rotary brings us together one day.

Fogg, yes I see some glimmers of recovery already but its ironic that visiting a GUM clinic would unblock, even I would have found that difficult to reframe!

PP, it is very comforting to know that we as members of the board wish each other so much happiness and peace in life. Joe indeed positivity brings its own reward. I confess that pre WH, I was a Polyanna type happiness buff, happiness is a precious diamond and I am sure I failed to value it. But I will value this more in due course. I am minded of a quote from Henry VI part 1 (Shakespeare)

If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work,
But when they seldom come, they wished for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
So when this loose behavior I throw off
And pay the debt I never promisèd,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men’s hopes;
And, like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glitt'ring o'er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I’ll so offend to make offense a skill,
Redeeming time when men think least I will.

It seems apt for DB, reform and resolution, a shiny piece of jewelry needs a dark foil before we see the shine on it.

I will work my way to recovery on my fins.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose.
