Any dream your heart desires
is meant to serve two purposes-
to grow you into wholeness
and to bless the world with joy.

These are the words on my perpetual calendar this morning. My dream is to make it to the Al-Anon International Convention in Pittsburg, PA. I've been talking to my on-line group. There are roughly 8 of us making plans right now- Sallie, Doris, Dawn, Michelle, Marliza, Judith, Karen and me. It could become a reality. My sponsor told me to talk to people at the area assembly next weekend. I might learn some more things.

I'm feeling kind of disconnected today. Not sure what is going on with me. Wish I lived closer to my friends. I've got some in Columbia that I rarely get to see and hear from once in a blue moon. There's my bff in Sylacagua. I hear from her several times a week. Elyce in the Memphis area calls fairly regular. Once in a while I hear from Kenny. Just wish I had someone close to do things with that did not require me donning my mask again. I want to be real.

I keep hoping that the new teaching job or the new church home would net me some new friends. So far I'm only picking up acquaintances. But time will tell.
