life safari - Feb. 19th

Good Morning ! I feel rested and ready for the day.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...

I am sober, clean, smoke-free and about 14 pounds lighter
Work is going well
Jill and I am doing well together (long distance, currently)
to have her back in my life
to also have Wanda Bear back in my life - I lost touch with Wanda and Jill for 3 years
for Precious - this wonderful cat is my touch-stone in many ways
for today and tomorrow and then, it's the weekend. No one owns any of my time on Sat. and Sun
for Grace
that, I finally got my contacts entered into the cell phone
for the challenge of technology - it's a hair-puller but once I figure it out, I feel good and enjoy the thing
for my friends and loved - ones
thank YOU

Happy President's Day to my Favorite passed President:
Bill Clinton. (and, Hillary) !!
Former President Bill Clinton IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE...MY PRESIDENT !

I got a smaller Cell phone. One that does all the things my 11 year old phone didn't do

that I had a wonderful weekend

that I am going to have a wonderful week

the fantastic spaghettini w/tomato and basil at The California Kitchen yesterday - Thank you so much Don K !

wonderful company and an absolutely stunning Sunday late afternoon (weather-wise)

life safari - Sunday 02-15-09

My late mother's birthday is today.
I miss you.

I am Grateful and Thankful that..

I get to enjoy eating with two of my very Special men-friends in a little while !

I am fortunate to have people in my life who care about me, like me, love me and I feel the same for them - it just doesn't get any better than this !

And, Jill and I have had a series of talks, and, I am confident in our love for each other, our future of intimacy with one another, that our communication is open and honest and that,
she really DOES care deeply for me

And, she absolutely loves the manner in which I love her. And, I do.

I have made so many changes in the 3 years away from her. I worked at it. Not for her, I had no idea that I would ever talk to her again, hear from her or ever see her again.

I am well pleased that I made that call - I put fear aside and trusted her good heart. She is, indeed , a Good Hearted Woman. And, I am as well.

For God's Grace

a new awareness of what I do mean to Jill. We simply are from different cultures of being raised, backgrounds in Education and social traditions. I am all about emotion - she is all about thinking things to death. She's a very educated and smart woman. She has been in "Think Tanks". I have been in emotional brawls - perfect fit if you ask me !! TeeHee

To be sober, clean and smoke free STILL, AND,

to have lost 13.2 pounds in Weight Watcher's over 7 weeks thus far

to feel so alive and nurtured, wanted today

Thank YOU
