A Hearfelt Apology

Posted 11-03-2009 at 01:40 AM by johnb
Updated 11-03-2009 at 08:45 PM by johnb

The twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous have saved countless lives from death by alcohol. The Steps have the power to free anyone who earnestly works them from their hellish enslavement to alcohol or drugs.

It is generally known that the AA program works to help alcoholics achieve and maintain sobriety.

Less well-known is the extraordinary quality of life that results from working the steps. Everyone I know who has embraced and practiced the 12 steps as a way of life testifies to the joy, peace and improved relationships that are the hallmark of a principle-driven life.

Step 10, "continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it." is one of the reasons for this joyous improvement in a life formerly focused on self.

There is nothing I know of in this world that is more effective, works faster and costs less to use than a heartfelt apology. I used to think that if I had hard feelings with someone else, that if I apologized first that somehow I would lose. I almost always waited for the other person to apologize first--mostly the apology I felt I was owed never came.

Today I believe that a prompt and sincere apology on my part is a victory. I always feel immediate relief of my own anger, whether or not the other party reciprocates. They usually do, and if they don't, they only cheat themselves of the relief that comes from a resolved conflict.

An apology...

The Seasons are Changing

Destin - Saltwater Fishing Report





Been a lot happening and changing on the fishing scene in the 10 days since my last report. The biggest change is of course the weather. The cold fronts have started making their way this far South and the times; they are a changing. The beach water temp has dropped 10 degrees in this time frame. This has caused the bait to start leaving the shallows and the big schools of pelagics always follow the food. The reef fish that eat the same critters have started moving in-- to intercept the bait that is moving out. It's such a great and simple system, I love being able to be a part of it every year!

The few days after my last report we were confined to fishing right up on the beach to hide from a howling North wind. This condition keeps it slick in close but way to rough to handle just a few miles offshore. Luckily the bait was still thick in close with lots of hungry critters chasin' 'em. On Saturday we boated and released a sailfish, kept a limit of Kings (10) and 2 big Spanish. We even came in an hour early 'cause it was chilly and we couldn't keep anymore fish. Sunday we boxed a limit of Kings and released several more. Both days we were never more than a half mile off the beach. Monday we found the bait much thinner in close but still landed and released another sail...

Can we INSTALL it? Yes, We CAN!

Posted 10-26-2009 at 04:42 PM by goodmillwork



THANK YOU to the St. Joe Company for their continued commitment to Northwest Florida securing Southwest Airlines into Panama City-Bay County International Airport in 2010.

It’s either in the water or just that time of year but every other customer conversation ends with, “Can you…?” Can you manufacture? Can you finish? Can you install? Can you travel? Here’s the deal, the team is currently licensed in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and North Carolina (PS – they even have security clearances for those black ops jobs).

The team has covered the gambit from commercial storefronts at Pier Park Mall, hand scraped fumed antique oak flooring in WaterColor and custom ipe shutters for the Private Residence Club in Rosemary Beach. Most recently we wrapped up the renovation of the Legendary Yacht Club as designed by DAG Architects in Destin, FL. Curious? Take a peek at our handiwork…nice work TEAM!

Take a Peek.
