life safari - Wednesday the 22nd

Happy Birthday Trish !!!

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful ...

that I am alive and well this morning

to have friends

for Precious

for a new day

for health

for a job that supplies me a paycheck

a roof over my head

a car to get me where I wish to be

the promise of a new day and,

the Grace of God

for AA and Weight Watchers

for changes in my actions, thoughts and ways of behaving

for second and third and fourth chances (and beyond)

for God's Mercy

for art and my artist friends

for my intellectual and P.H.D. friends - who love the college drop-out anyway

for the peace I feel about myself and my place in the world today

for romantic love. Even when it isn't reciprocated quite as strongly

that I do not expect anyone to feel just as I feel

for this day of life and the desire to live it, love it and learn more

thank YOU

What a historic day in America ! I wish I could curl up under the covers and stay home and watch it all today.

It is payday, that's exciting too. A bit less considering the new President gets sworn in today.

I am Grateful and Thankful that/for...

to be an American by birth and choice

I have been filling out health insurance forms the past three evenings and, I can tell you, it looks bleak. If you want health insurance, don't have any health issues ! My goodness, after three days of looking over my past 5 years (one wants past 10 years) of medical records, I should be on disability ! But, I have too many means to qualify there. It just puts me in a tough spot, psychologically

Today is a new day, I've given into the doom (last night) and today I will come out ready to fill out forms tonight - screw 'em !

Life is a real mixed bag of stuff. Now, I feel a sense of urgency about traveling. I feel that I had better get with it now while I'm physically sound (sort of) for, later, perhaps, not so much

What a juggling act life is

Today, I am perplexed by it all

that, I don't have to try and figure it out alone. I think I'll turn it over and have a pleasant day

And you?

for Precious and her company

for the people I love and that reciprocate that love

for God's Grace and Mercy

Thank YOU

life safari - Monday of Inauguration Week

It is a party atmosphere in the country, especially in the District.
And, for good reason ! We as Americans have a new President and 4 years to work on things that have gone way wrong.

I am glad that there is a feeling of hope today in our Nation and most people. Some people are distraught at the change. To this I say, you've had your 8 years to the chagrine of others, now let us have these 4 years and try and not muddy the waters. Some real exciting things may just happen that will make you happy too.

I am Grateful and Thankful, today for...

Change
Change in me
Change in "the Guard"
Change in the Air
Change in _________. You fill in the blank.
Praise God and God Bless... our exiting President, our New President, our Nation and Peoples

Thank YOU
