0706210809: It was spring or fall (most likely) of 1991. I remember standing in line @ Smith’s grocery store glancing over @ an Enquirer magazine or Us… between registers when all of a sudden an explosion of insights hit me. Looking back on that day – having had time to process it all*… I figured it was my mind awakening via:

Freedom from drugs and alcohol for the past 19 or 20 months, or;

The past 7 or 8 months @ the University where the classroom environment awakened something dormant in me (in my formative years I was a horrible student; or so I thought 🤔), or;

My intrigue with uncommon sense, as to my mind I had very little of even the precious commodity known as common sense (still don’t lol), or;

For my first several years in a recovery program I was almost insanely honest and perhaps this was my reward (or punishment lol) from some thing or some one?

In any event, since that day it has never really left me! You’ve heard of “Conversations with God” (Neale Donald Walsch)? Well I sometimes refer to these simply as “Thoughts from God”, or, “Everything You Didn’t Want to Know but weren’t Afraid to Ask”.

*Never give an alcoholic too much time to think as you are more apt to get the true, raw, essence out of them.
