New people

I'm meeting more new people each time I go to Al-anon. Yesterday a lady named Shirley came, and Cassandra was back. Today, we had three I hadn't met - another Shirley, and Diane, and then Joseph came back - the preacher who is so full of love. Hannah was back - the lady who said she'd lost 2 children this year. The six of us had a great meeting.
Diane looks like she has lived pretty hard, but she dresses beautifully and seems to have a large vocabulary. Our group are from all walks of life.
Our meetings are very spiritual, but not religious. There is a lot of faith and love going on. Much faith in a higher power that most of us call God - yesterday Joseph referred to Him as Jehovah Jireh (God my provider).
On another note, I have to get back on my diet - I had lost 12 pounds and now I've probably gained about 3 of them back. But if I get right back on the diet and exercise, then they will drop off quickly. I have more to lose, so can't afford to put this off and get discouraged, now that I've found a diet I can stick to.
I need to start bringing these folks healthy snacks to eat! We snack on donut holes and cookies - not good!
I'd better get off the computer and get in bed - early call tomorrow - back at school.
