v Who is one of your role models and why?

[finding_laura]

^ I think balance is the key word. I try to remember that being a rounded person and not obsessing or focusing on one or two things to the harm of everything else. I try and remember to be thankful for all the good in my life, appreciate the bad for the learning opportunity that it is, and work on filling my life with the important things like friendships and time spent with family.

First.  Geordie, it is good to see you active in the forums of GT, keeping active is a good way to stay strong in recovery.
   ^  As for your question, I enjoyed what I was able to see; it was amazing how the staging, mechanics, cast, and special effects fell into place so perfectly.  
Here in the States we were treated to a delayed, edited, and an often commercially interrupted viewing. The ceremony while different than ones in the past far far exceeded the wrongly perceived shortcomings expressed by, sorry to say a fellow American, but one somewhat disillusioned by his ego and narcissistic behavior, as "disconcerting" signs that London was ill-prepared for the Olympics. All in all, it was a great show that showed that a"bustling" and great city did not have to be held down by the size of the task before it.  (My halfhearted apologies for using this question for comments better suited in a "Trafalgar Square" type venue)
   >  Right now I am watching the delayed showing of men’s beach volleyball.
    v  Did any here have any urges to bet on the Games, or for the bragging rights of your Country; and if so, did rational thinking and a strong resolve overcome addictive thinking? (for me watching the events are better without any regrets of losing a bet)LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT,  "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.

^ the last thing I did for someone in need was just simply to listen to her and then to hold her while she cried.  At the time she was a complete stranger who came in to where I worked and needed financial advice because her marriage had fallen apart.  That was a few years back and she remains a friend to this day, I don’t see her often but when I do she always gives me a big hug.
> Just finished watching an episode of Downton Abbey, I really love the English shows.  Now I am getting ready to barbeque some chicken wings and thinking of what side dishes to go with them.  I believe macaroni and cheese may be in order here together with corn on the cob.
v Do you sing in the shower and, if so, what songs do you usually sing?
