Good Day Ablanders! And Happy Sunday or Monday or whatever day and time it is for you wherever you are. As long as it's AF, it's all good, right?
Today is one of those days where *I* don't get to have it exactly like *I* want it. Mr. Doggy and I have an obligation we really must fulfill for an organization that we belong to for business reasons. The activity today is walking with volunteers from the group in a local parade to promote the group's agenda, which is encouraging people to "Buy Locally" and keep as many dollars as possible in our own community. It's a good cause. It is doubtful our business will benefit directly as a result of our parade participation, but we certainly have benefited from belonging to the organization. I am on the board, so "volunteering" for this did not feel optional. Maybe that's what I'm rebelling about!! I'm a bit miffed at myself for being so self centered about this. I should be willing to give back to the community that is so good to me. What the sam hill is wrong with me???? Well, I suppose the bright side is that I at least recognize the issue and am trying to work on being a more outward giving person. I have a long way to go.
Hula it was great to read your post yesterday! That exercise tape sounds awesome. Cindi it's terrific that you are spending this time with your G-kids. Hope you had fun swimming! Deter sounds like you and Dx should be having a fun weekend with Morrison. Lav - I hope it's not raining because 16 muddy doggy feet is a lot of muddy doggy feet! Marshy, I too saw a huge escalation in already bad bad drinking when I quit smoking. Whew - glad to be out of that hell hole! Hello to everyone else that I might have missed yesterday!
Whatever you are doing today, try to have a better attitude about it than I do LOL!
Strength and hope,
DG
