Good Morning. Happy Saturday.
I got a nice restful night's sleep. I slept in this morning, no alarm going off at 4:30.
I am back to my usual schedule at work come Monday afternoon, finally.
Thanks to Ruth who is working the morning shift. She is eagar to learn, she showed up early for training and was willing to stay for hours yesterday. I'm impressed !
Thank you, Ruth !
I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...

that I will go to Lambda for the speaker meeting tonight
that the clocks "fall back" tonight. It is my body's clock time.
that I am sober, clean and smoke-free
that I have the Gift of Faith in God
that I am learning wonderful things in my Cathecism classes
it is beginning to make more sense week by week
I am very happy in the Catholic faith
I am a registered member of Saint Anne's Church now
I will stop by the Church today and revisit the Shrine of the Departed Souls - it is a healing experience to have placed photos of my Departed Souls on the Shrine and the Prayer List for the month of November - very healing !
I am Grateful and Thankful to be alive, healthhy and loved today.
I am Grateful to love others today
thank YOU

Happy Friday !
Had a wonderful experience yesterday. While honoring my Departed Souls, I had the pleasure of hearing a woman sing (softly) her prayers. She had a lovely voice and was barely audible. It was uplifting, not only for myself but, for the souls of those being remembered on the Alter in that room. I had the pleasure of talking to her and telling her how much hearing her touched me.
All Souls Day:
the opportunity to gather pictures of my loved ones who have passed on and put a collage together helped me to honor and mourn their passing. Some of those have been out of my physical life for many years. Some, very recently. The experience availed me a chance to think of them all in a loving, sorrowful manner. Some, I never grieved fully because I was too devastated at the time of their death.
I have a different attitude regarding death today. Not that I do not miss these folks, but I know today, that we will meet again one day.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to be alive another day
to be sober, clean and smoke-free
for the Blessings, Grace and changes I am making
for God's Grace
for those who have touched my life in the past and in the present,
I love YOU

life safari #124
Well, good morning everyone. I have been buried at work the past week or so. My co-worker has decided that she is too injured to return to her job - Worker's Compensation - she's out until late November. I have been filling both shifts and, thankfully, my life can return to one shift per day beginning Monday.
I have missed reading your Blogs. I must wake up very early and have not had much time to do the things I usually do, 7:00 am comes fast !
Good to awaken very early this morning. It makes for a more relaxed time to do what I miss doing. I only work until noon today - it feels like I'm going on vacation. I welcome going to my class tonight, going to the bank after work, the activities that seem so trivial and mundane at times now seems like a privilege.
And, today I am Grateful and Thankful...
for the lessen of team work. I actually feel an obligation to Reuben who has his hands full keeping the garage clean. Reuben is a very hard worker and dedicated to his work - refreshing !!
that he and I have come to a more tolerable (less destructive) relationship in the past few days
that I have learned to stop trying to control him and everything else around me
it is refreshing for me to honor the male's in my life. This has been a new experience. One I am happy to have lived.
I have realized that all men are not "authority figures" that I must rebel against. It has been a transforming experience for me !
Also, I can allow men to do things for me just because they want to do it and because, that's how boys were raised
As I grow to repect myself, respect for other's follows. This is what has been changing since I have been away
The other thing is that I am beginning to embrace my womanhood.
I am having more fun, I'm more serene and much more confident in myself
What wonderful changes of late !
I am happier than I have ever been in my life !!
I am Grateful for God's Grace
It is an Awesome God that I serve
thank YOU
