FRIDAY

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

that I can say NO and not feel guilty about it

that I no longer waste my time in sordid places; I have found other venues in which to waste my time

that I am pretty flexible to change when necessary

that I watched games 6 & 7 of the National League Championship Series (for the NL pennant). They were both well played games with tons of strategy. St Louis beat New York and goes on to the World Series.

that this blog, and these posts of gratitude, have become an integral part of my sober days at this point in time

for today's lesson in acceptance for me ... someone changed the font, font size, and font color on the HNT site. Shouldn't this require a group conscience?
Acceptance is the key and I'd rather be Happy ... than right.
But most of all -- if this is the worst thing that happens in my day today, it's going to be a very successful day.

The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

LOL! LOVE the pic!

And sordid places? Yeah, best to stay outta those danged Circle K's. I don't think that the stuff they claim to be coffee is actually a substance originally from this planet.

To whom are you saying no?

I noticed that font change yesterday.

There is strategy in baseball? Who knew.

How can someone change the format of HNT? Weird.

I actually watched three of those baseball games.. something I haven't done since I was in my early 20s.

Sunshine said...
