Hi all. Or "all a y'all" as they say down here in NC.
I have been absent for a few days. Busy getting ready to go to my happy place. Now I am here and relaxed.

Hev I hope you enjoy White Lotus. I certainly did. Looking forward to the season 3. Jennifer Coolidge is so awesome.
Alpine so glad you have Riley and Mr. A. Thinking of you a lot and sending healing vibes.
NL happy Birthday to your son!
Free how many children do you have? 3 or 4? I hope you have a nice visit with your daughter and new SIL.
Zura I love an epic thunderstorm.
Jack I hope you get your energy back. So good that you quit smoking.

Grateful to be at the beach for a long weekend. I have lots of paid vacation available and it's my birthday tomorrow.
Grateful we stopped at my favorite GF bakery on the way down yesterday and got lots of goodies. So many more options than when I was first diagnosed with Celiac 20 some years ago.
Grateful for a beautiful morning hearing the waves, watching the sea birds and sipping coffee.
Grateful that even though it took me hours to go to sleep I could listen to the ocean.
Grateful for my sobriety.
Grateful that my daughter is pet sitting. But I miss my pets.
Grateful my older daughter got hired at her first interview out of massage school. It even pays benefits!
Grateful for SR and the GP.

Numb - That was lovely of your son & shows his true heart.
CBS - I almost gave up on WL, but glad I didn't. Only on epi 3, but I have to find out what happens.
Grateful I'm finally starting an exercise program after much procrastination.
Grateful MrH is onboard with going meatless a few nights.
Grateful to stop putting the news on first thing. It sets the tone for the whole day.
Grateful for each of you.

Good morning 🌞

CBS - we got a good lightning show too! Although I do worry about the dangers I don't think there was any harm or fires started. It's not been a dry hot summer here so that's good. Lucky the hail missed my parts as well, so it was a 'free' show for me with bonus rain.

Zen - love the Snow White coffee meme 😂.

Alpine - thinking of you and sending love and strength ❤️.

This morning I am grateful for:
- buy nothing groups
- a safe, warm environment to dwell in.
- sunrise and sunset.
- for everyone here.

Love to all ❤️.

CBS that is such a peaceful beautiful pic!
I have t been wearing my rings either, in my case because of water retention. Grateful to finally be able to wear again
Grateful to be back home after vacation. Even though quite a few things didn’t go our way, we still made the best of it and had fun. None of us were prepared for altitude sickness which we all got in varying degrees. Mr F also got very sick the first day and had to miss skiing the whole trip. Sonny boy went out on our own and skied a whole day. Toward the end, we got separated and sonny boy fell off a different run so I didn’t see it happen. He got pretty banged up. Had to get ski patrol to find him but everything worked out ok. Grateful for no injuries other than sore shoulder. But he didn’t want to ski the next day. We got snowed in and spent the third day building snowmen and walked around town after Mr F rallied. Sonny boy and I did tubing on the final day. Grateful the condo had fooz ball, pool and ping pong table and hot tub. Grateful for the resort manager who helped folks move their cars and get unstuck. Grateful to get all our money back for the lift tickets and rental gear for Mr F. Grateful sonny boy had so much fun at Mile High Comics on the way back to airport
Grateful for wonderful neighbors who took care of the cats
Grateful to finally get some qualify sleep after getting back late last night
Grateful to be back here
Grateful for work team support
Grateful to have a day to unpack, chill out and relax

CBS - Love that water. Happiest of Birthdays - hope you're enjoying yourself.
Free - Enjoy lovely Chicago. Never been, but I have seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Fearless - I'm glad you had fun in spite of the unexpected bad stuff that happened. I didn't know about altitude sickness. My son would have loved Mile High Comics.
Grateful the sun is shining brightly.
Grateful daylight savings time is next month (3/12) That'll help.
Grateful for our dear GP. We get knocked down, but we get up again.
