Hello from Canada

[Cuddles43ca]

I tried this when I first joined but maybe I was just too tired and did something wrong cause it didn't go right. So maybe a good place to start lol.
I'm Elva from Ontario, Canada. I've been married for 30 + years, mother of 4 and grandmother of 11. And I'm originally from East Coast Canada. I've been in A.A. now for 31 years but have always had a hard time sharing because I am hearing impaired and couldn't participate or do what I would have liked to do. Though I have been ok with one on one. I have grown a lot since I got a computer about 9 yrs ago because as long as I can see, I can hear LOL. But for some reason I still have a hard time sharing but maybe that will come. But I love reading all the readings and messages in groups, that has helped me so much. I am ok in a chatroom though, sharing with others but it's basically one on one. But this is something I'm trying to work on. Think I will stop here for now lol.
Your friend in recovery
Elva

Today is a great day to be alive. The world is filled with positive possibilities, and those possibilities grow more numerous with each passing moment.
Sure, there are challenges and disappointments and frustrations. And within those challenges, within those disappointments, are some of the greatest possibilities.

Today is a great day to be alive because today you can make things happen. You can set a goal, chart a course, take stock of your situation and use it to create new value.

Pay no attention to those who claim to know how things will be. Your future is yours to determine, and this is the day to make it great.

You don't need anyone's permission to live with joy and fulfillment. You don't need to wait for certain circumstances to line up in a specific way.

For today is a great day to be alive, to be productive, to be effective and to fulfill your best possibilities. And now is the moment to enthusiastically get busy making it all happen.
