I agree with Reccie! Go for it. Just do what feels natural. And you'll be with loved ones so it's not like you are arguing a point for a business meeting. I'm sure you'll feel the support from your daughters and husband.:l

I'm not!!!:H When I teach it's a give and take. I expect feedback so it's more like a conversation. But though I hate speeches-haven't given too many in my life-I think Anon's is a different situation. As Oney said-she'll do her daughter proud.
Off to get my son from camp.

Well now I have been thinking, it's coming close to the end of the year and always a good time to sit down and have a serious reassessment of our lives and where we find ourselves. I don't mean in a 'Im going to give up choccy, take up a night class' sort of new years resolution way. I am thinking more along the lines of 'where am I on this journey, and I don't necessarily mean just with AL, for while it is a big issue, it doesn't define who we are. Sometimes we need to actually climb out of the box and take a good look around rather than just thinking outside of it. I am going to change my life in as many positive ways as I can this coming year, anyone care to join me?

KTAB,

Usually before I read posts like yours I think, "Oh, no, I'm going to feel like a failure again." However, as I reassess myself, and this past year, I realize I haven't done too badly. Yes, I've drunk to excess on occasion, but had many AF days in a row, too. But for me, I am proudest of the fact that I did meet my biggest challenge: taking loving care of my mother. I see the appreciation in her eyes, and I gladly accept her dependence on me. I believe the woman finally understands what unconditional love is. She knows I will come through for her.

Yes, there are things I need to work on: my overall health, and my relationships, but for right now, I'm doing my best. If I try to be perfect, I will truly fail.

I will remain positive, and work toward the betterment of my life and the world around me.

Juja

Hello Oney, JC, Ktab and people further back that I now can't remember because my brain is about the size of a pea.

Quick check in from a very very wet cold pissed off Panno ... Not one drop of snow on these here Highlands ..worst weather they have seen in years floods and high winds

Mrs A managed to read back about your speech, I have done many public speeches and definitely have your notes or even better it wrote out, even if you don't have to refer to it, many people clam up without them, hope you have a lovely day :l

Yes - but my counterpart (who handles all aspects of the financial side of things) resigned yesterday with no notice. And to say I am Excel-challenged would be a grave understatement.
