Well I am back having survived Christmas, an accidently deleted program file on the computer and a broken sink (don't ask). And now we are racing headlong toward 2008 and I seem to be recognising in myself more and more the reactions that stem from my character defects. I see the way they colour my life.

While I was off line I have to say I missed you all even if that fact did give me time to organise Christmas in my household and even find time to get on my own and relax.

So what will next year bring? A new place of work for my husband and a new way of getting to work for me, a court case for my sponsee, my first year of sobriety, a new member of my family as we 'adopt' a friend of my son's. It is already lining up to be a challenge. But whatever it brings I hope it brings serenity - to all of us.

Happy New Year Everybody. Cara
