You will not believe this. I didn't, you all know I opened a f2f group. And tonight I didn't feel like going. I was tired after working all week. And the other woman who goes with me text me to apologise, she couldn't make it...argg. So I said "Ally Girl, YOU made a commitment to this group"..I got up, gave myself a shake, and went out, smiling...And OMG, I had a new person at the meeting. She was an "American"...lol How awesome is that.....
Hmmmm...Was my HP, trying to tell me something.... For the last year and more, I have been in constant communications with Americans, Canadians, Australians to name but a few. And here she was...lol
We went on to have a great meeting. There was only 4 of us there. And her es&h was wonderful.....
I have also been reading all the replies to my post, and I have received some e.mails...And somewhere in all of that. I have realised that I do have so much to give to Al-Anon. F2f and online...I have received so much help from others, and gave so much back to them..Should that have to stop, because I don't like something, or someone's words... Someone said the other day, isn't it funny how we learn by going "Through" stuff in our lives. Maybe this was a lesson for me afterall. A part of my growth within my programme.. I do not need to be "perfect", do get "Approval" from each and everyone in my life...Maybe I just need to be "Lynn"....
I myself have admitted no one person is bigger than al-anon..Should I maybe think on that one....
I feel my heart is so full tonight. "An American alanut, at Ally's f2f" Who would have though it....lol
Who was it who said "off all the bars in the world you came into mine"..lol (was that in a movie)...Anyway...I got an American at my f2f...woohoo
lmbo You made me smile tonight. To think that an American could make someone so happy..hehehe Your too cute. I think it's great that you made the f2f meeting. By those 4 people you are effecting all the friends and family in their lives so technically you have more, look at it that way. Keep up the good work!
All I can say is WOOHOO! I am so glad you went and met my cousin? I do hope you will stay with us. You have no idea how much joy you bring into this room, besides your e,s,h and wisdom.
Love and blessings to you.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
