Calm and Serene

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I woke up sober this morning, drank some coffee, and am continuing to get through the morning without having a beer or a rum/coke

for a very good meeting yesterday with my Mom's nursing home administrator's

that short-term experiences can make for long-term wisdom

that I know that my wrong behaviour can affect another human enormously

that when I put any of my character defects into practice I greatly decrease my chances of serenity

that I've never been to St. Olaf North Korea

that I spoke to Hayden (my ex) last night about nothing in particular as he enjoys a couple of days in Tobago

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
