Mickey Muldoon Monday

LOL.....

I'm sitting here with the tiniest grey kitten asleep across my heart. This one always looks like about 50 volts is running through him. He's a longhair and all fuzzy and the static electricity as his fur standing on end. Looks kinda like the one in the picture, only grey.

The potluck was a success, the spring rolls got rave reviews. We had great food...butternut squash soup, bagels. baked brie and crackers, citrus striped butter cookies that I MUST have the recipe for! We were there for about 2 hours, talking and eating. We'll definitely take trip up there when you guys come, Anna....I think you'll love it.

I feel so grateful to have found such a caring and wonderful place!

Other blessings crossing my mind:

~~My friends Tim and Jay and the way they model love and caring for me all the days of my life.

~~ The life that I lead One Day At A Time, that gives me a plate full of gratitude.

~~ That I didn't do so much damage to my brains with booze and drugs that I couldn't take part in this wonderful series of classes I'm taking.

~~That I feel loved and precious to another human being.

~~ That I am seeing a paradigm shift in the world, in all sorts of small ways.

~~ That every cloud has a silver lining, just like my grandma used to tell me.

~~That God's got a deal for drinks that don't drink.


Up early in the morning, and need to get myself off to bed. Looking forward to a new day.




Namaste, my friends.

Tickled Tuesday

[The famous Gatehouse , where Bill and Bob met]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah, the end of a long day in sight. A long, albeit good day.

I had a wonderful massage today and a pedicure and got my nails done. I feel like such a girl !! lol

It's down to about 13 degrees and tomorrow will be not quite as cold as today was and hopefully that damned wind chill factor will go away...it's was freaking COLD out three today! Then we have some high 50's headed our way, I guess.

I was IM'ing with one of my sponsees tonight when she said she had a girl on the line who was drunk and crying. It's a friend of hers who keeps going back out over and again. I know her to see her...but not much beyond that. She was talking out of her head and I told her to give her my number and I'd talk with her. I didn't really think she'd call me, but --surprise!! So I got to do a 12 step call tonight. Just when I get to feeling too useful or normal or something, I get to revisit ME as a drunk. It right-sizes me every time. It ended with her promising me she'd go to bed and sleep it off. And not do anything else. I told her she could call me anytime, that I would always have time to talk to her.

Fast as lightning, the gratitude for my own life just slipped up behind me and grabbed on.

I am enjoying a nice cup of rooiboos tea and yawning like crazy, so I guess I am off to bed soon. I have plans tomorrow to stay home and make a couple of desserts and a chicken pot pie. The desserts will be for the women's meeting dessert potluck and speaker meeting. I
have hubby's breakfast and lunch made, so I can sleep in tomorrow.

Blessings abound if you take a minute to look for them.

Thinbk I'll go lookin'...


Namaste.
