New to AlAnon, for that matter. I, too, have built a blog site but turned it off for now to concentrate on my evolving program instead of on the distraction the blog was becoming. <br /><br />I'm stopping in to say that I admire your view in response to the 10/28 post at the "I'm just F.I.N.E.-- Recovery in Al-Anon" blog. (This: <i>"I think we go to those meetings to testify that lives can be changed by doing simple things, because someone was there testifying when we showed up. Someone will hear, and we often don't know who that is. I guess it's none of our business, is it? Our job is to keep showing up, steer the course, and testify."</i>)<br /><br />And in this 10/25 post of yours, here, I feel the sweep of my own heart and imagination in your words... Indeed, <i>"the touches keep touching."</i> And, indeed, <i>"show me the ripples... where my stone reached."</i> I wonder what shores my stones ultimately eroded? Or built? <br /><br />I love what I've seen of your writing and thought you'd like to know that. As a writer "for life" myself, I would like to know, too. But I also know that feedback is incidental to the writing life.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-41356114988600231832011-10-25T14:51:36.643-07:002011-10-25T14:51:36.643-07:00Lovely.
