Today I am thankful for
  • Regular life - it's Saturday and that means taking care of a bunch of personal things. Gotta vacuum today, do some other housecleaning. I am glad to have a house, so happy to do all this. The vacuuming - when the kids stay with me they throw of a lot of debris. So I am thankful that I have the chance to vacuum, because if I didn't need to vacuum, then it would mean I wasn't seeing the kids! Also wanna wash the car today, run some other errands. Just regular life. Which is good.
  • Counseling - I had a group session this morning. It's good. I did not volunteer for this (it is court ordered), but the counselor is good and the group is helpful. I see other people's problems, and it gives me compassion for them and patience in my own situation. I don't particularly like the part about being ordered to go - some Saturdays I would like to do my own thing, get up late, or just go out of town. But it is what it is. I'll make the best of it.
  • coffee - I have a very few vices. I don't smoke, don't gamble, don't swear (much), don't do drugs. Well, no drugs except for a select few: Coffee, Chocolate, and Scotch. And this morning I had a couple of nice cups of coffee. The latte I get from the coffee ladies at the shop near my place is the best. Starbucks pales in comparison. Anyway I enjoyed the coffee this morning.
  • Time to myself - Saturday was family time when we were all together. Now it isn't. So I am enjoying the independence and keeping my own schedule.


I think maybe I will go out to find some music tonight.
