CONGRATULATIONS TO AN ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIAST WHO REALLY PERSEVERED FOR 30 YEARS

My heart is pounding with extreme delight for a wonderful woman who has successfully completed 30 years of sobriety today. She has been with AA for her 30 years of taking one day at a time and she has understood the Serenity Prayer...and the Courage to know the difference. In addition, she has been lifted from the addiction of smoking that took possession of her whole being about the same period of time. WHAT A WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR AN ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIAST!

For all of the 18 plus major medical operations that she has endured over the years, this special woman has earned the respect and the admiration of all of those associated with AA because of her exemplary example in spite of all of her physical afflictions. Although she has lost the sight of her left eye and has partial vision in her right eye, she encourages others to continue their daily perseverance to make their dreams come true with desire, dedication, and determination no matter what the cost in the long run. Also, she has pain from head to toes from arthritis and rheumatism that has attacked her body, BUT NOT HER SPIRIT! Her positive spirit gives her the triumph of living the 12 steps of AA with honor, with dignity, and with respect.

For all of her ups and downs in her lifetime, this special woman lives with a SMILE in her voice and her attitude. She literally has difficulty in getting any positive rest. She is lucky to get TWO HOURS of sleep per day because of the excruciating pain that rocks her body from head to toes. CONGRATULATIONS, KATHY, FOR GIVING US AN EXAMPLE THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MANY PERSONS LIVES. MAY THE HIGHER POWER CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE in your daily life that ONLY the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE CAN GIVE TO HIS CHILDREN. For those HE LOVES...HE PRUNES THAT MUCH MORE! MY HONOR IS TO BE YOUR BROTHER....NOW AND FOREVER!
