life safari 12-12-08

I love the number 12. 12 is my favorite number. It is large, even and pleasing to my eye and ear.
twelve. 12.

Today, I am feeling rested after a very long evening at work. I had to stay for a party that one of our clients had. Precious got fed very late again. I am thankful that she is sooo forgiving.

Friday. Thank goodness.

I am Grateful and Thankful...

last day of work for the week
the warmer weather
that so much information is available through the Internet - the world is at our finger tips
to not be a union worker for the auto makers. How silly the union voted not to take a decrease in pay. 100% of nothing is nothing - hello !!
to be invited again this year to Christmas dinner with my family
to be employed
that I have food to eat
for my friends and loved ones - my life is rich because of you all !
for a good, warm coat and pair of gloves
Precious and her little smiley face. She always has a smile
she missed her landing when she jumped from the bedside table onto the bed this morning. It is amazing to watch a cat who is embarrassed
that I am happy, joyous and free this morning
to be sober, clean and smoke-free today
for life itself
thank YOU

life safari 2008e

What a nice morning I've had ! Slept in a bit, read my daily meditations and readings with candles and incense to set a mood of tranquility and peace. This habit is one that I happen to enjoy and have practiced for some time now.

I am struggling with my habit of eating at night-sweets, and too many of them. Very compulsive and self-defeating. Tonight, I have vowed to myself and God to get out and walk rather than eat those things. Even if I only walk once around the cul-de-sac of my street, I must make a start. I Will Make The Start !

Weekend plans: yard work tomorrow, dinner out with Frank, Mass at 11:00 Sunday, walk again on Sunday. I will print this out and keep it in front of my today, tomorrow, and until I get a new habit established. It helps to talk about this. Thank you for listening and allowing me to make a contract with you, God and me.
I, Peanut, will walk at least one time around the cul-de-sac on my street every night.

I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...
I am alive and well
Precious of daily joy and love in my life
I am sober, clean and smoke-free another day
God's Grace and the gift of my faith
God's patience which I consider Salvation today
the friends and family I am Blessed with
I know I will "wake up" those endorphines when I get off high-center and will feel better
Thank YOU
Peace be with you all

life safari 2008a

Good morning. Could not get to sleep last night. I have not wanted to go to sleep at night for many nights lately for some reason. Good programs to watch on TBN while awake, however.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...

to be alive and well
for the sacrifice made for my sins 2000 years ago
that God is Patient. That is salvation in and of itself
sleep this morning
I get a haircut tomorrow
that next week will be very busy but very Spiritual and solemn
for a gratifying life
that I have calmed down and some areas of challenge have smoothed out
to be Blessed with so many loving, Christian fellows in my life who are on the journey or, safari, as I like to refer to it
that one more shift at work and I can be off for two days
for Precious and her ways and cat love
God's Grace
thank YOU
