Happy New Year !!!!!

I had a delightful end to 2008 with friends and loved ones and an inspired beginning of 2009 with friends and loved ones. So, I have been nurtured from both years. I'd say that is the best of all endings and beginnings. Thank you all who made me know that I am loved and pertinent in your lives.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

for joining Weight Watchers (again)
for some modest loss of weight but more importantly, I am not stuffing food into my mouth with impunity
for friends and loved ones
for Precious
for AA and the meetings that I have been attending
for St. Anne Catholic Church and the Masses and Priests there
that I am trying to change some things that cause me to become very upset and rant and rave
that my neighbor's across the street got their lost parrot back. I prayed for them to find that bird when it got out. It was found in Sugar Land. It landed on a man's head and would not budge until he got it food and water. One of the girls went on-line and the person contacted them that he had the parrot - I am so happy for them !
that the above was a wonderful surprise after all these days and cold weather after the parrot got out. We all were concerned the worst would happen and alas, the best happened !
that it has taught me to never give up
that seeing a car spinning out of control on 59 this morning showed me how easy things happen with speed and carelessness. Thank God it all turned out without anyone being hit by the car. The woman driving fought the spin and gained control. Also, those who saw it happen slowed down. The best thing - hardly anyone on the road at the time.
I am going to slow down and learn to not get upset in traffic
that is what gets me ranting and raving.
that I can change my behavior if I will apply myself and use what I know to end this madness
the knowledge that I can only control my behavior and what I think about other's behavior
I can only control my car and what I do with it
Thank YOU
