I put many trees into the earth in Georgia as well - mostly along the Savannah River, the City of Savannah, Tybee Island, and all of those other places in that area. Best meal I ever had in my life was along the Savannah River in the middle of nowhere. A fat old black woman cooked it for me - told me she felt like a "yankee' because she moved from Georgia to South Carolina (literally only across the Savannah River). She looked like an angel and her food was certainly heaven. Collards, fried chicken & catfish,cornbread, and a few other recipes God dictated should enter my pie hole that day.
I've been to Savannah a few times over the years, it's a cool little city.

But I digress, where are you at with you Eagle11? How is the journal. How are you physically making yourself sweat - sweat hard induced, not just b/c GA is humid as H3ll. I was thinking of you - couldn't put my finger on it...got it now though. It was a quote from one of my favorite books - Catch 22 by J. Heller. Not really DB related in terms of story, but a quote I had to jar out of my head with hammer and chisel. I went back and found it. An exchange between the main character Capt. J. Yossarian and his Major:
Yossarian - "From now on I'm thinking only of me" Major - "But Yossarian, suppose everyone thought that way." Yossarian "Then I'd certainly be a damned fool to feel any other way, wouldn't I?"
I like the quote. I haven't read the book, but maybe I need to check it out. I have been doing the daily journal. I have been using it to chronicle my day and thoughts for that day or time. It is interesting to put my thoughts down on paper. I actually kept a journal during the break up of my first marriage years ago. I went back a few years later and read the journal and is was depressing to see the state I was in back then. I'm hoping with the help of this community that this journal will be more positive and be about my journey to a new and better life.
I did do some stuff for me this weekend. I worked out and I practiced golf. I also spent some time playing guitar, so those were all positives. With the kids I took them bike riding on Sunday and they had a lot of fun doing that. I also cooked some chicken on the grill on Sunday, which is something I haven't done in a while. Actually I don't think I've used the grill in a couple of month.
Thanks for checking in.
