What a nice morning I've had ! Slept in a bit, read my daily meditations and readings with candles and incense to set a mood of tranquility and peace. This habit is one that I happen to enjoy and have practiced for some time now.
I am struggling with my habit of eating at night-sweets, and too many of them. Very compulsive and self-defeating. Tonight, I have vowed to myself and God to get out and walk rather than eat those things. Even if I only walk once around the cul-de-sac of my street, I must make a start. I Will Make The Start !
Weekend plans: yard work tomorrow, dinner out with Frank, Mass at 11:00 Sunday, walk again on Sunday. I will print this out and keep it in front of my today, tomorrow, and until I get a new habit established. It helps to talk about this. Thank you for listening and allowing me to make a contract with you, God and me.
I, Peanut, will walk at least one time around the cul-de-sac on my street every night.

I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...
I am alive and well
Precious of daily joy and love in my life
I am sober, clean and smoke-free another day
God's Grace and the gift of my faith
God's patience which I consider Salvation today
the friends and family I am Blessed with
I know I will "wake up" those endorphines when I get off high-center and will feel better
Thank YOU
Peace be with you all

life safari 2008d
Wow, it has been a while since I've had or taken the time to blog. I seem to lose track of time.
It has been a period of trying to get back on a schedule after the Easter Celebration. What a wonderful and beautiful Mass we had at Easter Vigil (Sat. 3/22/08).
During that time I was having some back problems (too much weight) and not eager to get out of bed and start the day.
I am wondering what the summer will bring as far as scheduling at work. I may not be able to have Thursdays off after my RCIA program is over. I will miss the classes and people but will be very happy to be in full Communion with the Church on May 4th (Sunday 11:00 AM Mass). I have been very ready for the opportunity to exercise the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. I have been holding my breath for months, it seems. I am very excited to be close to being able to participate fully as a Catholic.
On the job front, I feel uninspired and a bit bored lately. I think I am in need of a real vacation !
Frank and I are going to France and Italy in Oct. or Nov. 2008. Time seems to be passing by so quickly - it will be vacation time before I know it. We must get our plans ironed out.
Well, my back is beginning to ache. I guess it's time for the heating pad. I am very disappointed that basketball is taking so much air-time on television. But,
I am Grateful and Thankful...
for the joy of living in Precious' domain
God's Grace and patience
to be sober, clean and smoke-free
tomorrow is Friday !
to be alive and well
for the folks that I love being alive and well
Spring break being over soon and the church schedule going back to normal (during the week)
for LOVE
coffee with milk and honey
Good Night
