5 year anniversary of Mom's Passing

Aug 1st 2004 aprox 5 am I was woke up to the call that my mom had passed away around 4am that morning . I had seen her at ST Joesph's around 6pm before the Sun night Step Study. She not opened her eyes or spoke in a couple of days I was holding her hand and as I was leaving I kissed her on the forehead and said I got to go to my meeting mom and I love you. Mom opened her eyes and told me she loved me and that was the last words she ever said to me. What A blessing and a lovely goodbye. Mom Is with GOD and we will meet again. Until then Rest in peace. I love you.

Switzer Falls Hiking

So I got sober 9 yrs now. I quit smoking 1 1/2 years now. I started eating healthy a month now and needed some exercise so I went hiking up in Angles National Forrest To Switzer Falls. The Hike is 1. 75 miles back in around and down winding switchbacks, Across streams and trees and boulders. The scenery is really cool and the people you meet along the trail are very friendly. It was a little much for someone who smoked 2 packs a day and hasn't exercised in 20 yrs or so but I made it. I am Planing to do some easier hikes and build up to going back and do this hike again and even bigger ones down the road. I had a good friend with me and she was great. I took some pictures so have a look.
