life safari #91

Well, slept in again. I just don't want to get up in the morning any more (early, that is).
Must get the car A/C looked at. Have a wonderful dinner planned with Frank later.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...
that it is Saturday
that Thursday night I felt uncomfortable around new folks, new subjects, etc. But, having Frank by my side was a comfort
that next Thursday night will be easier
for all the people who are involved in the classes. They fix food for us, drinks, they are available to help in our process and they appear truly happy to be there with us
for communion with Frank later
that although I don't have much to say lately, I enjoy visiting my friend's blogs
thank you for being there
AA and my AA family
Have a wonderful day

Happy Friday all.

Got the bills paid that are due today. Got a few pair of slacks and blouses yesterday - wore one outfit last night. I lucked into finding "petites" so the pant lengths are fine. That doesn't happen much for me.

Still haven't gotten the a/c looked at. That will have to be my activity tomorrow, first thing.

The tall grass is haunting me. The responsible one inside feels "obligated" to mow on Saturday or Sunday. The "unresponsible kid" in me wants to blow mowing off and do other things.

I think I will get ready and go to the noon meeting. Hopefully, my Sponsor will be there and perhaps he would like to hook-up and go eat and talk this weekend.

I am Grateful and Thankful...
for short hair that requires no work
a noon meeting to attend before work
Frank and his love and care

Life Safari #89

I haven't decided what to do with my afternoon. I need some clothes and I need to get my a/c looked at in the car. Neither of the two are things that I like to do.

Rather than sit here and dwell on my discomfort about some things, I think I'll get up from here and tear into the responsibilities of the day. Bills must be paid before I leave the house. Go get gas in the car. From that point, I'll just try and make the best choice that will get me to the noon meeting on time.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...
I am alive and have things to do
I'm sober, clean and smoke-free. And have the where-with-all to think things out
the hurricane missed us
I'm sorry for the ones that got it
Precious. She is really doing better on this new food
I'm nervous and excited about this evening and I'm so relieved that Frank will be with me
God's Grace
thank YOU

Wednesday - finally, rain. My plants need it.
I couldn't seem to wake up yesterday. I think I have fallen into depression, perhaps from withdrawal from smoking.

I am Grateful and Thankful...
that the MS meeting did not come last night - I was able to leave on time
for the rain this morning
that I didn't pull the covers over my head and stay in bed this morning
that Precious really likes her new food and she has not had one of her symptoms on it
for tomorrow and what lies ahead
I work close to home. There are flood warnings for today
to be sober and clean and smoke free today
just to be here

Monday, Monday.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

I'm up and feeling better physically even though I could not get to sleep last night
I feel rested
a reminder about "honesty" from dave
that Precious really likes her new dry and wet food
Hopefully this new food formula will help her physical condition (signs of kidney problems)
I got proactive regarding the above yesterday
to be clean, sober and smoke free this morning
that I look forward to the noon meeting today
for an interesting Lambda board meeting yesterday - lots of laughter - sweet !
just to be alive, well, and another day to try and live to my potential (honest, kind, respectful, faithful, loving, etc.)
that I am content with what "things" I have or don't have. I have no desire for any "thing" today.
that my desires involve things of a Spiritual nature right now
God's Grace
thank YOU

Sunday.

I'm just Grateful to be here. So many aren't.
