Not that we need excuses to eat around this place but we had two special celebrations last week. One was a birthday of a resident in the house. The other was one of those special celebrations that needs to be noted. Saturday night we went to Mongolian BBQ with Cathie to celebrate 10 years of sobriety. It's been quite a journey as we walked with Cathie through treatment, through days when she didn't think she could keep sober for longer than a few days, then how she managed 30 days so she could come and live in the house. Now she's looking at 10 great years of sobriety. Included in that is several years of not smoking. That was another journey with a few stops and starts and stops until she turned the corner. These are the wonderful joys of walking with people "as they reclaim the gift of their life."Cathie is active in life with her various ministries connected to the church and Partners in Hope. She's developed her talents in photography and other artwork and has had several art shows. In short, she has a life with herself, with God, with her family, and with lots of friends.
Congratulations Cathie!
