Had a nice walk in the rain with the dogs and ready for another cup of coffee. Hope everyone has a great sober day.

Got up early and did some chores and just spent half an hour chatting with my neighbor on the porch. What a great way to start a day! I'm here for my 24 in very foggy New England. It's the kind of fog that makes me want to have some more tea and maybe find a good movie.

Good morning,

So happy it’s Saturday and I had a very good lie-in. Taking a little time to appreciate things, just slow it down. And take a sabbatical from all the bad news. This small house is lovely. I’m focused on the creatures in the yard. The neighbor’s twin striped kitties hopping the fence angling for handouts, the cardinals, mockingbirds, squirrels and dove. Intricate spider webs. Caterpillars, lots of moths and butterflies..this little ecosystem all around. I usually don’t notice but today I do. I think I dreamt about it. Tired of all the anger and negativity.

Sober, we have more choices. I remember how it used to be on Saturday mornings…you really didn’t have a choice. You were sick and unhappy, all day. And probably drunk again by afternoon. The day was over before it started. And Sunday would come… much the same with Monday dread mixed in. The birds were too loud, the impish kitties just annoyed. A shower was an accomplishment. So grateful that’s over. A little sleep, a good meal and a slower pace makes a big difference, sober.

Happy and grateful to be here. Have a great weekend! 24 for me, please

xx

I adore the animals and birds and butterflies....I even like the huge carpenter bees....they are friendly
I am sure I hear an 'Oh, woops, excuse me' when they accidentally bump into me.

I did have an argument with Miss Fav the squirrel this morning....well, really just saying come on, you ate three petunias yesterday, the whole plants....leave me a few huh? I wish it was on video....she was two feet away from me on top of the brick wall, just looking at me like OK, sorry.....and off she went. But she came back when we weren't looking a few minutes later and ate another half of a purple petunia.

And yes Vo....it is magic. I remember so vividly resenting the birds, the noise.
I cannot even imagine being annoyed with the birds now.

Suze, so true! I don’t remember a single time sober that a bird bothered me, except maybe for the times they umm, decorate my car 😀

Went to see my father and it’s hard to see him in advanced stage of Parkinson’s… but im glad he’s still with us. He wasn’t supposed to survive and is doing ok considering. I’m trying to be grateful for the time we have instead of mourning who he used to be.
