Facebook is always awake. Comments in the dark.

Confused cats think it is breakfast.

Today is Trick or Treat though Halloween isn’t till Tuesday.

Wearing my new Ursula leggings to Laughing Club. Selfie time!

Time to watch Hocus Pocus!

I asked different people to listen to me but they didn’t hear me.

The difference between talking and listening.

Feeling betrayed and learning from it.

Thank you Dorothy for hearing the whisper of my frustration. I treasure that we prayed together.

Counselors. Mine is super.

Thank you for my laughing friends.

Thank you for my singing friends. Amidst the notes there is shared laughter.

Hubby without distraction.

When manager gets involved, keeping my voice even. Finding my calm.

Ebay. The frustration when it won’t check you out. Just a computer. I won’t feel self recrimination.

Winning the bid and realizing you’ve spent a lot of money. Thankful I work.

Waking up sober.

Let calm wash over me. I am a river. I will seek a river today but meanwhile I let myself float on rivers of music, clouds of memories. I miss you Mom!

I am still. Quiet my brain. Ignore its short circuit of ideas and obligations.

Breathe.Breath centering. Centered. Fear no more.

Slow down. Consciously move slow. Think sloth.

Stop. I forgive myself for mistakes in the past.No apologies. Enjoy your victories.

I release all anger to others and to myself. Nothing self condemning will be allowed. You are loved.

Hypersensitivity is not part of gratefulness.

Many bad things happen around me but I am safe. I am letting go. I am relaxed. Be calm!

Up early to unlock the Church since custodians were on vacation. Setting up tables and chairs after coffee hour for Trunk or treat. Thank you Lane Ball!

Need to see when custodian appreciation day is. They are unsung heroes.

Grateful to be able to hep when something needed to  be done STAT. Glad to take it off Kathy’s shoulders. She is another hero.

A round of applause for our Pastor.His gift was a Autumn tree with fingerprint leaves. Many wrote him cards of thanks.

Holding someone as they cry. May they find comfort and peace.

A hug for my Pastor and my friend.

Elders provided a special coffee hour. Pizza and cake. Good job guys.

Trunk or Treat was flawless. Over three hundred kids walked through visiting the decorated cars and played the games. Goats and alpacas. A blow up slide. Free food too. So many people made this event happen.

The sweet gesture of hubby running into Acme for quick food (and wine) when I was spent.

Oh no! Bank card is missing. Safe at another grocery store. Bless whoever found it and turned it in. Reunited!
