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

Wow, haven't been here in months. I have been intent on following what is going on in Health Reform for many months when I'm on the computer. I had, and still have a major interest in this issue - as many of us do.

I am proud of the work our President is doing.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

that I don't have to make the decisions (on that scale and level)
to be alive and healthy
for Precious and the joy and companionship she brings to my life
to be sober
to have lost some weight in the past months. I have, once again, grown weary of the process and so have perhaps gained a bit this week
for the probablity that I will switch to the morning shift - finally, at work. And, this time, it won't be 7am to 7pm. It will be 7 to 2 pm AND, no more late nights with Microsoft meetings !! yeah !
I am already thinking of how I will spend my afternoons free - many more possibilities for more stimulating activities in my life. Yes, I have worked hard for 3 years and now it is my time to reap some of the pleasures
that I have learned to worry less, not let silly peoples' actions disturb me and smile in the face of adversity - ah, life is better !
Alas, I do have a late night with MS tonight. Precious woke me up very early this morning for breakfast but, I have plenty of time to do all the things I want, as a consequence
for the fact that I have people I love in my life and they love me
thank YOU
