Carol and Robert and George this morning.
It’s eight, and I have time to start my blog. At nine, we are having breakfast with Carol
and her husband Robert. Carol is an excellent quilter and I can discuss my
quilt problems with her. Just now I can
write a few words, read Dear Abby, and get dressed. I’m on a mission as is George.
Asides for the day:
We were looking for a good
black sweater for me. I had bought two
black ones at Tar-jay and both had fallen apart right away. At Ross as I rounded a corner, I saw an old,
fat woman in the mirror. It was me. And I didn't recognize me at all. I have
already reduced my portion sizes, and I am once again in the pool. Soon I will
be able to get into all my old clothes again.
All those actions won't get rid of the wrinkles, but the shape should be
right. Being almost 80 will wrinkle you.
Thanksgiving dinner out
was far bigger than generous. Too much
to eat. Having Pam for a companion was
the best part of the day. We came home
and had a small dessert here. That was
before I saw myself in the mirror.
I’m so thankful for:
·
Being clean and sober.
If not I would be dead.
·
Having George in my life, and yesterday was his 34th
birthday.
·
Not being homeless.
Sleeping in a bathtub has no charms for me now, but it did keep me the
cleanest homeless person ever.
·
So lucky to have friends like Robert and Carol tho they
now live far, far away.
·
So blessed that mother lost money we were able find and buy
this condo.
·
Grateful to feel as well as I do.
·
Grateful G’s knee is doing so well now.
·
Grateful I have two kids that remember I exist.
·
Blessed to have a few grandkids that remember we both
exist.
·
Grateful to have had G for 35 years.
·
Grateful to have journal and blog readers since 1974.
·
So very thankful that we live one mile from the beach.
·
Even more grateful that we live one mile from the bay.
·
Best of all, very thankful that I can walk in the pool.
·
Blessed that I can still drive.

And of major interest, as Tabor writes, Chocolate.
