I had a great day yesterday. Much accomplished in my own health management. And a really excellent meeting of the fellowship. I feel particularly fortunate. I introduced a new fellow to our anonymous fellowship. And with great aplomb, our new fellow was accepted and welcomed by one and all. A brave first meeting for someone new. As our gathering was extremely serious in parts and raucous (boisterously disorderly)in others!

The boisterously disorderly of course was as sober as the day provided, not a libation had been consumed that day, a pretty usual state of affairs...

Mind one or two agitations had been felt and much wandering across dark memories were shared of hard times past. Our happy throng were suitably guided by a touch of serenity in a gloomy day, and then the sun came out too. We were a contented bunch.

So glad our new fellow found us to be worthy to join and share a bit of experience, strength and hope. And for me a feeling of equanimity with the world prevailed all day.

Its also Valentine's Day. And there is much love across this world, mine is given as completely as I ever was able to all loves throughout my life. Content in my current singularity, it will remain so until my heart feels that pull to love again.

Splendid times and may this everlast be strong. As tempered with physiology and chemistry my living will be challenged and tested against changes inevitable to my regime.

Darkness is upon me, the warning bark of black dog, and beyond my present power, difficult times and choices. So gifted, much caution without hesitant pauses keeps the flow in the ever present present...
