P. O. Box 1980

Your wonderful letter gave me a lot to remember. First, that when I begin to feel that I am breaking under the bludgeonings of what life brings along, maybe it is because I am cooling off in my AA work. Secondly, that life seems just like climbing a mountain. Sometimes to reach the peak, we have to go down into a valley, and when we emerge, we find ourselves closer to the peak. Life is not easy, sometimes it is hard and tough, but as children of God, we can behave valiantly. Things have not changed yet with the members of the new group who still won't come to our meetings, but we are always trying to be of some help.
