I went fishing this morning. Sun shining, slight breeze. Couldn't help but think of my fishing buddy who passed away in 2000. The best memories.

It was so peaceful and relaxing. Nothing but the sounds of nature (and me catching fish ).

View from this morning:


I have a good life and I am so grateful.

Sometimes it's hard to be grateful when I'm upset about one or two or even three things that I'm not happy about. Yet there are sooooooooooooo many other things that are 'just right' or even better than that; ranging from 'just okay' to miraculous. Sigh.

Yes, being able to pause and see where your feet are right now is an awesome gift....

speaking of being gracious...I'm grateful that I had to wait all morning for a tire repair...because if I hadn't ...I'd have missed seeing the manager of the dealership...who won a contest......

KISS A PIG!!!
yep! A cute little gray piggie...who was not amused with all that smoochin.

I am grateful for the way the rain felt on me during my jog, for the way I feel right now: Sober and proud of myself for it and that my family are all home tucked in safe.
G'night
