saturday night alive! 3/21/09

good day all! its saturday night! what a beautiful day today. 60 degrees, sun shining, amazing. today was round 3 of group dynamics, (mandatory class for 1st time drunk drivers in wi). 13 hours down, 8 more to go! yippee!

we watched a video today about a woman's drunk driving eXperience that really hit home for me. which reminds me i need to find the pics of my accident and post them! the accident that this young woman had was similar to mine and i think that the end result could have/should have been the same for me had it not been for that of my higher power. when i gather the pics and what not, i will make a blog special about my dui. remember though my accident/arrest was on 10/18/2008. i continued to drink, continued to drink and drive until 1/31/09. the link below is a synopsis of this young woman from wisconsin, her name is denise wagoner and this is her story (includes quite disturbing, but powerful images.)

on a different note, i received a phone call today that made me feel good and gave me hope, strength, and inspiration. it was from a friend of mine who is going through some tough times. i haven't talked to her in a few months and she informed me of how inspirational and touching my blogs are to her and she looks forward to them every morning. i do this primarily for a self-serving purpose. to know that people are getting something out of it is just awesome.

i am going to try to continue to improve the format and layout and hope to add a section where you can submit questions/comments other than just the comment part after each entry.

hope you are all well!

So proud of you! Something from a book I'm reading. "It a journey of our spirit and the road markers along the way keep saying: HELLO this way. GOODBYE that way. When we recognize this faith (higher power) dimension of our lives, it can make the necessity of goodbyes a little easier to understand and can help to live through our pain of heartaches with more hope. like you I need the higher power every day. Love you Aunite Jan
