The Journey begins here so get YOUR ASSES IN GEAR!!!! for december
Sun, thanks for your enquiry about James. His arm was much better today so probably only two more days of trips to the hospital, hopefully. I told him this morning that I put up reports on him here from time to time and that I've told you all about his arm and even posted a picture. I think he was really touched when I explained your concern and that you ask after him. ALwise he's doing really well, although he still has some work to do from time to time.
AGuy, I told him about your courageous efforts over the past 10 days and he was impressed. His withdrawal from AL and Oxycontin last year was horrendous. He was too ill to have any control over his bowels and just shivered and shook for about a fortnight. He couldn't lift a 2 litre bottle of milk his father brought him. It was one of the most courageous things I've ever seen. I express the same admiration for you because I have some idea of what you're going through, after watching and trying to support James. It saved his life...Dr George O'Neill, a world leader in the treatment of addictions, told him if he didn't have the Naltrexone implants and stop drinking he's be dead by Easter. Thirteen months later and he has a zeal for life, a deep appreciation for the second chance he's been given and a newfound spirituality which is moulding his personality and helping him develop really admirable qualities. We were talking on Messenger tonight and he said he feels like he's taking up too much of my time...silly man, I hope I managed to fully convey to him how much joy I've had in watching him transform himself, and what a privilege it's been for me to have played a role in it. I have gained so much strength and encouragement from helping him...which has really proved to me the fundamental and undeniable truth that there is more joy in giving than receiving.
Sorry, I was rattling on a bit there...still a bit wound up from talking to him I suppose.
Fen, I think Bird's idea of writing to Mrs Fen is an excellent one. If you write from your heart to reach her heart, with your gift for words, it will surely have some positive effect, maybe soften her viewpoint and awake some understanding and empathy for you. I really hope it might be so.
Ruby, your cousin's gift was beautiful and reminded me of the widow in the Bible who gave a small coin of little value in the temple, but because it was given out of her want and was all the means of living she had, it was esteemed of so much more value than the rich offerings given out of the surplus of others, that her selfless act was counted worthy to be recorded in the Bible. Although unnamed, this widow's heartfelt gift has passed on down through time as the shining example of the true meaning of giving.
Wow, I'm really on a roll tonight. I'll shut up before you all tie me to the Taco Truck and festoon me in toilet paper.
Love and hugs, my Northern Hemisphere family. Sometimes the time difference is hard because you all get to interact and I just have to climb up on my soapbox :soapbox: and seliloquise.
:sorry: I'm sure you're all probably thinking :blah: but :thanks2: for listening anyway.
Love and hugs.
