Childlike and Proud

They say that the age when you take that first drink or toke or sniff is how emotionally mature you are when you hit sobriety. Guess that explains why I wanted my 40th birthday party at the Putt-N-Stuff!! Which, by the way, was sooo much fun sober!!!!

But I don’t feel bad about that because I believe our guardian angels have a plan for all of us. And the fact that my main interests still revolve around coloring books and corndogs and Barbie dolls and cute boys has quite a lot to do with my success with Sturdy Wings.

How? Because I don’t have to pretend to be interested when I’m servicing these young kids - gazing into their eyes I know when I am meeting their needs. So if you’re like me – intrinsically uncomfortable around anyone over 18 – don’t let anyone make you feel bad about that.

Gayle, I can relate! I had my 40th birthday party at the Putt-N-Stuff too ... right next to the batting cages and the Malibu Go Carts, where I got my very first (and so far, only) driver's license.

And I too, was driving sober ... that day. Really ... I was. How embarrassing would it have been to get a DUI in a Go Cart?
