life safari 12-17-08

Oh, I really like this photo. I took it at Brazos Bend State Park. I was hanging out there alot at the time of this photo. I camped there almost every weekend. Tent camped - hard on the back but, oh so much fun ! My favorite time was eevening around a huge campfire. I would sit in front of the fire for hours. A picture on Scott's Blog this morning reminded me of this period in my life.

It is a period of a younger me. The last time I camped out I could barely get up from the bedroll, it took forever to get the kinks out of my back to walk. I rather hated the cold shower in winter and hot shower in summer which is standard issue in a campground. So, for now, I treasure the good times. The earlier times. I fancy having a pop-up camper one day. When I am retired and after I've toured parts of the over-seas lands I wish to visit - I will pull a pop-up and see the U.S. of A. Base out of home and travel. That's my dream anyway.

Today, I am Grateful and Very Thankful for/that...

I got back to some prayer and devotions after too long away
that Precious and I are well and together another day
for my friends and loved ones whom I love and respect
that I pray for those that I love. I pray for Blessings and safety. Health and happiness.
I am alive. I'm sober, clean and smoke-free
although my computer is challenging me with it's operating glitches, it is functioning enough to do what I desire(knock wood it continues)
for wonderful memories of things I have done in my life, people whom I have known, and the love I have received
My hope is that, through the crazy periods of my life, some of the love I intended to give other's came through the cloud of my misguided actions, fears, illness
for the people in my life today
God's Grace
thank YOU
