Overheard at
an AA meeting, this 12th-step conversation between sponsor and
pigeon:
"Tom, I've
spent years and years looking for that ideal relationship. I
searched for someone I could trust, and who would trust me.
"I dreamed
about this person who could love me no matter what, and who could
share my deepest secrets. Someone I could admire and respect,
and who would admire and respect me in return.
"Well, Tom,
I finally found that person."
"Wow!"
said the sponsor. "Congratulations. Do I know this perfect
person?"
"Yes, it's
me."
The listener
had to pause and take a breath, because his friend had made a
very significant discovery...one that even your beloved author
sometimes forgets:
We're our
own best friends and faithful fans. Tattoo that on your forehead!
