Potpourri

<--- silly cartoon
One of my primary responsibilities is to take care of myself. I will find a small way to do something for my mind, body, and spirit today.

todAAy i AAm grAAteful & thAAnkful

for Saturday evening dinner with my favorite Saturday evening dinner people at my favorite Saturday evening dinner place

that I have gotten so much better about restraint of pen and tongue -- what a concept! My thinking that accompanies this concept is that I would much more prefer to be happy -- than right.

that I've done my part on the Houston Roundup committee as secretary

that I didn't freak out when my ceiling began leaking this morning from all the rain; been through this before

that Hayden and I can talk for free over the internet

the population of the United States hit 300,000,000 today; now I can stop counting

that this is DAY 7 of being a nonsmoker

In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

I think it's scary we have hit 300,000,000. That's just too many people.

Huge congratulations on becoming a non-smoker. I just marked 1 year last month and I have never felt better (well, maybe I have but it has been many years!).
