Deserto - Hiking under a platonic moon...well alrighty then.
Cheyenne & Laramie are so near each other, I can understand the bucket list confusion. Congrats on your truck!
Numb - Nice that you'll have an actual vaca. Strange times for sure - but we keep on kickin'.
Owen - Yes, sunrises - went many a year without seeing one. Except for the ones I saw due to still being awake from the night before.
Aly - I hope you'll be able to keep Luke comfortable. There are many supplements that are supposed to help their joints - I hope your vet will have good advice. I didn't realize your baby was 11, bless his heart.
Fearless - Hope all goes well with the move in. Dad is blessed to have your love & concern.
Grateful for hummingbirds swarming around the feeder today.
Grateful my neighbor is going to take in a stray kitty we've seen wandering around this property.
Grateful for another 2 lb. weight loss. I have to keep it going this time.
Grateful for every post, every observation, every bit of humor & wisdom. Love to all.

Grateful for all our pets, and Hev’s neighbour taking in stray puddy cat.
Grateful for being here amongst you, even though miles apart, brought together by sobriety.

Grateful Fearless is going out to help her dad in this way.
Grateful for the cool weather snap we had when I was up in AR. Got down into the 60s a few mornings. Came home to TX and it was 100 at 6pm.
Grateful for a/c.
Grateful to watch part of a movie with my daughter even though it was full of bad language (The Heat). Glad she was out of the room for a fair amount of it.
Grateful to break into my excessive stash of movie candy. Had some Sno Caps (do people eat these any other time besides watching movies??), Milk Duds and Whoppers. Yum!
Grateful for the connectedness we experience in this virtual place.

Belated Happy Bday, Mags!!!
Owen I wish I could send some samples of the candy through the inter webs, though honestly as much as I like the candy it’s not like it’s the finest candy in the world. Kind of waxy milk chocolate (other than maybe in the Sno Caps which are Nestle and seem of marginally better quality in terms of the chocolate) and just a bit on the cheap side.
Hev, I also wish I could share the movie candy with you but I don’t want you to have to make up for it with salads and regret so I will keep the stash hidden for now

Grateful for coffee, in nearly all its forms, flavors and temperatures.
Grateful, but trying not to get my hopes too high, and also feeling kind of guilty because the same is not true for my colleagues, that I may not have to testify whatsoever at all this week.
Grateful for sober sleep, even if there was not enough of it last night.
Grateful to have a bit of mental space to try and refocus on connecting with my kids even if only in small measures.
Grateful to be setting up a fishing charter, maybe two (not excited for myself but excited for my son and daughter, son especially who really geeks out on fishing).
Grateful the plumber is coming today. Hoping I can get back to being able to use the upstairs shower soon.
Grateful for all of you.
