I had been sick and had not been able to attend a meeting in over a month.  I had gotten so use to feeling ill that it was difficult to break out of it.

When I was driving to the meeting two of the members passed me in their car and yelled out hello to me through the window. WOW…

To All,

unconditional value of life within us, which neither requires comparison with others nor depends upon 

our transient appearance."
