Good morning beautiful beautiful people
I got two grandchildren over here 3/1 year. 
24 more for this grateful sad alcoholic .
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, but only saps today of its strength.
—A. J. Cronin
There is always something to worry about. What if it rains tomorrow on the family picnic? What if the baby gets sick and we can't go? What if we can't find a shady spot for our lunch table? Will the water be too cold for swimming? Will the boat motor conk out in the middle of the lake? What if we forget the charcoal? Or the lighter fluid?
Today, while preparing the potato salad for tomorrow's picnic, all we need to know is whether the potatoes are cool enough to peel and slice. Our worries about tomorrow change nothing but ourselves, and they have nothing to do with
what we are doing right now. Tomorrow will become today soon enough, and today is the day we have.
Which of my worries belong only to tomorrow and should be left alone until then?

. My body is not cooperating physically but my mind is making up all manner of stuff. ..haha. The grass smells Wonderful! There are quite a few pretty birds out on it now, pecking away. I guess the mower stirs up dinner. I may not do another thing today save stare at the birds on the lawn, take a nap, play a game, call a friend, sip tea and catch a show. .
. Busy!

Maybe I should start with that low hanging fruit and get them organized? I feel I can't dive into any project of the self discovery type until I get those kind of things sorted out. Does that even make sense? Anyone else going through that?

Sigh....😪😪

I forgot to say congrats to today's celebrants when I signed I earlier today. I apologize for that. I hope you all keep going forward in your sobriety!
I had sleeping problems last night i.e. a skunk outside my bedroom window, a growling dog and, a fan to blow the "fresh cool air" into my bedroom.
