UP, UP AND AWAY....



       RIDING!


Leaving Friday morning on a 200-mile weekend ride to Tampa FL, for an AA Area Assembly. Hopefully I'll find time to read, comment, and blog with some of you wonderful Peeps.

Been missing you. Confession:  I've been a defector (Face book).

Life is full...and happy. Sobriety does not guarantee 'happy', but it helps!

Sobriety DOES guarantee JOY! No Matter What (NMW!).

Ride safe. Stay sober. And I will, too!

LOVE and PEACE!
Steve

    Yes, I have done “words” on phone also, not a lot...but I DO like it. Keeps the brain awake. You must know how excited I get every time we hear about the Castle. (Wish I was age 40-60, I'd ask you to call if you need physical help!)
    I also excited every 3 months at Quarterly...ya never know WHO or WHAT God is sending your way. Just have to stay open and willing.

    CRYSTAL MARY!
    Thank you, girl! On these trips, I stop at the county line and kneel on the roadside, and say a (fast) prayer! Have done that for years—even with a family.

    DAFT SCOTS LASS!
    That;s RIGHT! YOU a Biker Girl, if I recall correctly. Yup, comfy! And I LOVE it, the freedom, ya know? PEACE!

    IZDIHER!
    You KNOW I enjoy the ride, Babe. Thanks for dropping by.

    BRIAN!
    Yeah, I been blog-lurking a little, though! I just “Want It All”, ya know?
    I say know
    God says “No!”
    ...or “Not now!”
    Happy to 'see' you, my friend!
    PEACE

  11. SYD!
    It is WONDERFUL we can partake of God's gifts, and experience in advance that pinch of freedom and happiness which He promised in the next phase of life. It may sound trite, but I mean every word. Enjoy the Roundup!

    AYALA!
    Better advice nobody could give me at this moment.
    Thank you!
    PEACE!

    MAGPIE!
    Oh, sage! Your advice I will also soak up, accompanied by beautiful thoughts and blessings for all the Blog-Peeps. Thank YOU!

    SUZ!
    Yup. I agree that God has a LOT to do with everything.
    Thanks for visit. I have not checked out your blog for a few hours. Weeks, you say? Well, I'll make it a priority today, for sure!

    LINDA of MANY NAMES!
    I have a beard, but keep it pretty short—AND, it is white! But in my (Ahhh!) 'younger daze' my whiskers were RED, hence the moniker CAPT REDBEARD. I was a gun-totin', whiskey swiggin' symphony violinist during that ten-year period.

    Linda, when I ran with a group of Hippies, they said I was the only one among them who was a 'real' Hippie, no inhibitions, and complete non-conformist. I was SO PROUD to be 'unique'--B I G G R I N.......
    On FB Use please my address “fiddlemn@gmail.com”...NOT the 'comcast'. OK?
    Thanks, Ms (Mrs!) M.A. (Multiple Alias).
    We'll be in touch!
    PEACE!
