 Building with hands and heart...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Sounds as though building has turned into a form of meditation for you, Don. What you have come to realize through building, both with your hands and with your heart (through AA, et al) will take you far. Forgiveness IS the path toward freedom and happiness, as difficult as forgiveness can be. Keep up the good work!

One day at a time, Don. The best of the New Year to you and your handy canine helper; and may the completion of your cabin and deck become a symbol of your sustained sobriety. Thank you for sharing your formula for success and happiness with my visitors and me.
