Grateful I can have an early night tonight.

Grateful for the consultant who saw my Mum today, he was so respectful and personable, I think she's in good hands.

Me, too!! Situations in Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous service and with sponsees have me frustrated, too, but I don't have to "subscribe," so to speak. Glad I can accept what has already happened as fact and move on...

And grateful Remy-cat likes the porch swing. It's about the only dry place outside right now. I especially like when he shares the swing with me.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

RIP Robin Williams.

Cause of death suicide by asphyxia.

Heavens. Now this is getting spooky after my last two posts about my co-worker committing suicide. I've often heard deaths can go in threes.

Grateful to be alive.

My musical hero Phil Ochs also hung himself with a belt. So very grateful to be happy to be alive today, that I'm nowhere close to wanting to end it all. So grateful...because I HAVE been there.

And grateful for Ben & Jerry's. And that I can enjoy it guilt-free, not tormented by shame and self-loathing!

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful In have no flood damage, mainly because I don't have a basement. My area got hit really hard with up to over 4 inches of rain yesterday.

Most people I talked to in the area had flooded basements, some as high as the ceiling. Many cars were stuck and submerged in water on the freeways and other roads.
