I am a native Houstonian. I have never lived elsewhere. I have had the opportunity to travel over the years. I am a recovering alcoholic. I have one cat who is indoor only.I love coffee very hot, popcorn, sweets, the sound of hummingbirds in flight, the songs of Mockingbirds, chirp of the Cardinals,butterflies, puppy breath, horse breath, the feel and sound of a cat purring (especially mine).

I am going out to water my plants, feed the birds (and St. Francis' squirrels)

life safari 2008q

Happy Thursday, everyone ! Got a spot of rain, now the sun is out - you Houstonians know what THAT means. Say it...humidity to the max

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...
to be alive and well
to have a job that I like
to have a job, period !
for the bit of rain we did get this morning
for the Gift of Faith that I have today
to the Lord Jesus Christ for His Gifts of many Blessings
that I seek ways to give back what He has generously given me - I don't have to look very far
I am Blessed to be able to help some of the homeless and hungry folks in my area
for the Gift of this very precious cat who lives with me and keeps me laughing. She curled up that fairly large body into a round plastic planter on top of the table in the atrium - what a hoot it was to watch her circle and figure out how to curl up in it - she has great perseverence !
for love
for joy
for health
for happiness
for sobriety
thank YOU
and, for not smoking ! I can breathe - Praise God !
