Grateful for a tad bit of rain this early evening. Anything helps.Grateful to be all ready to do my laundry tomorrow. We have community machines, which is fine until someone breaks the machines or leaves their laundry in the machines, which I don't want to touch. Icky!!! I have a few gloves from hair coloring, my sister owns a hair salon, but she doesn't do my hair, nor my mother's. Grateful for the Sick Man Prayer; I heard someone mention it, maybe Daisy :hug: and I really have to think of it when I have to deal with either of my sisters, which is thankfully very little. Grateful for my boundaries with my destructive sisters. I'd love to live in Key West, but it might be a bit pricey for me unless I got roommates. Oh well, sometimes we have to make compromises to live in Paradise! :love:Love to all of you. Take good care. :grouphug:

I do not spend much time thinking about things like the AV. That being said.......
I am grateful that I did not listen to the AV today. It tried to get me fantasizing with what ifs today.

I cannot drink in any measure. Destroys me.

Be well, good folks.

Grateful for light chores to do while we work from home. There is talk of me going back to my office, not sure how I feel about that so it's best to turn it over to God.

"Life
is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty, and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming---*WOW-What
a ride*!"
