Is now two weeks into my exercise program and I firmly believe that it is working.  It is very difficult and I am very conscious of being short of breath and weekend my legs.  But that is getting better and what is most interesting is that my enthusiasm for writing and carrying out my chores is improving.

  Meanwhile I have selected the the Cedar River restaurant in Starke Florida as the site of our meeting.  Hopefully this will include quite a number of correctional officers but it will take a great deal of effort to get them there and hope that they find some usefulness in what we have to say.

I am reminded by what happened in our meeting this morning that  Bill Wilson was a great  risk taker.  When one looks at the big picture, the risk of starting an AA program that became worldwide, was without a doubt beyond any comprehension on the part of Wilson and others that it would ever come about.

  I am very encouraged by the reader program as I have already been told of serious issues within the manuscript that have to be dealt with.  I am grateful to  several who have already helped a great deal.

    And I now need to  develop a formal business plan and a regular meeting of the folks who have been crucial in the development of the program so far.
