Deeply Personal

As I think of my life from a cognitive perspective I know now that I was blessed with an above average intelligence that has shaped how I feel about myself today. I am bright but I realize that there is a limit to intelligence and what it can mean for my social relationships.  I can be as smart as a whip but if I do not use common sense I am doomed to repeat the errors of my youth.  

Emotionally I am able to express myself in a meaningful way through my words of speech and the gift of writing.  I also feel I am on a spiritual path as I try to treat others as I would want them to treat me. I could also say that age has had its benefits as well.  

When I took the Big Five Personality Test I found some veracity in the results.  It concluded that I am open minded, somewhat disorganized, extremely extraverted, somewhat agreeable and relatively relaxed. However I can also say that all of these results can be thrown out the window if you catch me on a bad day. 

Petition

It’s not easy to find the inspiration to write neither everyday nor even every week. I need to allot time each day to put to words my feelings, thoughts and when the spirit moves me the rhythm of life within me. When I wrote KSC this Saturday I liked that I was able to affect a departure from my usual fare in that forum. I even received two comments on that post which I never seem to get on that blog.  I will keep that blog open but for the most part I think that weekly entries or even biweekly stories have about run their course. Else I would still be writing them.  Once in awhile I might splash a story like if K2 comes back into the fold at EQ. I miss her musical acumen and her ability to control the room without being assuming or condescending. The roster is severely lacking without her.  

My life after AA will always be my centerpiece because I have lived that life before and after drink and it just seems more important to me. I also have found that is my most read blog and it is therein that I like to think I am contributing albeit in a small way of my own experience strength and hope. Thanks for reading and I will be back by and by. Oh that K2 story of her return? Let’s petition the powers that be and make that happen. That is if she wants to come back.
