About Me

Houston, Texas, United States
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).

life safari 7/31/08

Oh, another month gone. Time is flashing past. However, this past two weeks seem to be never-ending. I have not been able to figure out why and how some parts of time drag and other zoom. Perhaps it has been the heat that causes me to feel like this (?). Or, perhaps it seems so because it has been so very busy at work with two companies leaving the building and three other companies coming in (?). Whatever the reason, we get paid on the 5th of the month again and it doesn't seem as though we'll ever get there !

I am Grateful and Thankful...

that for the past few days I have been walking in the park
I have also been getting up around 7:15 a.m.
Praise God I am eating less and eating better foods - no ice cream or junk
I am less down and achy because I am causing those endorphines to move about. I have heard that exercise helps ones mental state for years but thought it was B.S. - not so any more
to have chosen to get Precious' teeth cleaned. After 7 years of my Vet encouraging me to do it, after she told me it could extend Precious' life, I have chosen to go ahead.
August 8th - Friday. I will take a vacation day and have it down. Just like humans, the state of tartar on teeth can cause kidney problems as well as lead to diabetes and heart disease
that my car is running fine again and I will enjoy it for several more years if I choose
to be content today. There is no "thing" I must have to be happy
to have read a fascinating article in the NG magazine about Iran
to be happy, joyous and free today
thank YOU
