It is better to build character than to be one.

Powerful Clip!!
The week was great!! We had two softball games; one didn’t go so well and one went very well. Work is moving along very well and so is life. The weather is outstanding and even though I am more inclined to warmer temperatures I do love the autumn air. Yes, even in Southern California there is a hint of fall in the air!! We really don’t experience the full effect of the four seasons but I do like these subtle changes as summer finally broke. I played golf yesterday in what I would consider the perfect temperature of 72 degrees; not too hot and not too cold. We have more days of the year like this than most places do and I am extremely fortunate.
I am extremely fortunate for every facet in my life which brings me to this posting;

Not sure if you need to have an account with Facebook to access but if you don’t please try to view this message. It is a very powerful message on how addiction causes so much pain to not only the addict but to the loved ones. There is so much I can write about this passage but I will refrain for now only saying my heart goes out to this family and all families touched by addiction. SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) states that EVERY family in the United States is affected by addiction. That statistic cannot be understated and it would be naive to believe otherwise. I come from experience and now my family has been affected by MY addiction. I am not blaming myself I am just pointing out a fact and thank God I am now in recovery because my life is incredible all thanks to recovery.
Please view this clip and I would like to hear what everyone thinks, thanks!!!
