Good Morning. I hope all (or any, as the case may be) have arrived, or are at least in transit, to wherever they have planned to enjoy Thanksgiving. I also hope that those who, for one reason or another, hold most all Holidays in contempt and/or disdain, find some reason this season to at least soften their scorn just a bit. As with most things in life, how we feel and react towards them rest, for the most part, on the way we choose to view them. I'm sure most have shared periods so dark and so bleak we felt certain we'd never find the strength to rise above it. I know I've felt that way (in all probability for the majority of my life) on many occasions, and while I, perhaps, lacked strength enough to rise from those pits, eventually somehow, the strength nevertheless found me. I know, I know.....you're thinking, "What a crock of s...."; and perhaps to some, it may be. But I know the value, and the power of truly believing in one's self, and it's a power against which no other can compete.
Despite how cliche' it may be, "Giving Thanks" for all we have should be first and foremost, not only during this particular time of year, but during all times, all seasons, and for a vast multitude of reasons.
I'm quite thankful for not only what I happen to possess, but incredibly grateful for those most precious "intangibles" which have, for the most part, chosen me. My sister, Jane, for one; my Sons, David and Frank; and my dear friend, Ester, and her mother who is also my friend. I wish all of you a wonderful holiday. Frank.
This site is dedicated to all those who have been consumed by the horrors of Addiction, and its' powerful, uncompromising, and relentless obsessions. Addiction exudes a darkly powerful, but beguiling charisma, which facilitates it's transcendence over racial, intellectual, and spiritual strata. It's insidious intent, aimed exclusively and with malice, is to imprison it's victims within a lurid, unremitting nightmare.
