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 01-09-09

Well, this evening, I had an "Update" on my Norton software and - my computer is operating better than it has for weeks ! ABOUT TIME !!!! I was so close to throwing the thing out in the yard - so many times the past few weeks. Now, this is what I'm talk'n about.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

that it is the WEEKEND (finally)
that I lost a bit more weight this past week
a friend of mine has lost quite a bit of weight in past weeks -his medical picture is looking better
that we had mild temperatures today BUT, we're in for a drastic change REAL soon (in the morning) BOO !
I may enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace with Precious this weekend. She enjoys the fireplace as much as I
that I don't live an apartment or townhouse - fires seem to strike these often
it seems that my leak in my bathroom is repaired. I now have a lot more closet space available
that I have never seen the criminal's faces who murdered a person as I am hearing a man on the news explain (he is moving and not showing his face on the news)He was also shot at
that if it gets much more dangerous in Houston and my neighborhood, I will sell out and move
part of me wants very much to move - Africa perhaps ? I could see myself living and working in the bush. This is a new thing for me. To allow myself to even dream of what I wanted very strongly a few years ago.
I think I'll keep that thought open to possibility and prayer
God's Grace
thank YOU

If you decide to move, I hope it's for the right reason. Not to run away from something, but to run towards.

hiya, Peanut...

Seems that these hard times always bring out the worst--violence, depression, addictions. Our rooms of AA are swelling of late. I was a meeting that is normally about 25 people and it was 55.

I live out in the country, an hour outside of the metropolitan area of a big city. The news is full of this stuff. My own reality out here is we still don't have to lock doors, neighbors watch out for each other and my dogs can run crazy if they choose to.
My cats are safe, indoors and out.

I wish you safety and peace. I'm so glad to be back online and able to read you again!
