I collect them in a notebook at home and I LOVE IT! It's like one big meeting. It's not distracting and it helps carry a message with me. Otherwise, I forget it!Maribellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151521518241990474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-80621666230725428692012-02-07T15:59:24.597-06:002012-02-07T15:59:24.597-06:00Alanon Mtgs are the only place I don't take no...Alanon Mtgs are the only place I don't take notes. I am an avid notetaker because I can't remember a damn thing if I don't write it down!<br />But in Al-Anon I sit and listen and then of course forget whatever profound things I hear. I can see both sides to the notetaking thing. I think you can tell when someone is paying attention to the speaker and taking notes vs. writing something non-related.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-31297588521649194412012-02-07T10:44:08.014-06:002012-02-07T10:44:08.014-06:00I care!

And I did learn that from my sponsor whose book pages are covered with 21 years of his writings. Besides, some of us have short attention spans and memory lapses as we get older! LOL--have a good day Pammie.

You hit on the spiritual importance of staying in the moment which is HUGE. Also, I believe that God gives us filters so we only hear what we are supposed to hear.Mary Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156474205414127488noreply@blogger.com
