As Rocky sees it..........

The window goes up, and the window goes down all with the push of a button. I didn't realize what a luxury that is!

Just returned from seeing Rocky Balboa.I must say I loved it. My son however thought it to be cheesy. But, I shed my fair share of tears during the movie.(and, she cried) I think the message is what got me. "life is about how many punches you can take and still get up and keep fighting" It's kind of sad that it's that way. What makes good character is not how bitching about how many punches your getting, but how many you can take and keep going. I feel like Rocky in the 9th round somedays.

Now, I head off to celebrate my 16 years of clean time at my meeting tonight. I have no idea what I want to talk about. I would like to sit up there and go on and on about how great life is being clean, blah, blah, blah, but my message just may be that sometimes you gotta take the punches and get back up. I know as long as I don't use I can probably continue to do that. For that I need to be grateful.
