Lenny was in Zac's last night. He was good as Lassie - apart from one unpleasant smell that he himself moved to get away from. They're not my favourite dogs as a rule but Lenny was so loving and affectionate it was impossible not to like him.Lenny's friend is fighting his own battle against alcoholism. It's a hard fight and, though he seems to be winning, he is hard on himself. His guilt won't allow him forgiveness. Yet he gives - of himself - to support others.
The community spirit within Zac's is so strong, bringing together people from different ends of the spectrum, linked by - I was going to say 'love of God', but not all are Christians, so what is it that links us?
Wounds, scars, needs. I've said before that I went hoping to be able to give but I receive far more. I love it.
Blossom was also in Zac's. I haven't seen him for a while and he greeted me saying, 'Hello, PoshBird.'
'PoshBird?'
'Well, yew talk proper, dun yew?'

Lenny looks like he's such a character! One could not but help love him.
A guilty alcoholic - now that's no surprise.
It's a hard road to walk but one that is worth it. I've been lucky enough to get someway on the path. However forgiveness of what you once did is not easy - I have to remember though I was ill and sick people do sick things.
