I took today as a vacation day from work. I also have Monday as a holiday and decided to take a vacation day on Tuesday to make this a nice long weekend.
It going to be a busy few days. I'm flying out to another state but will be back in the late evening on Sunday. And then on Monday and Tuesday I'm going to go out on the boat for a couple of days. It will be nice to have some serenity time before starting back on the work week.
I got word that Steve E. is coming to town. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to meet up with him or not. But I'm sure that if I don't get to this time, there will be another opportunity since no one can resist coming back to Charleston. It truly is Paradise City.
I'm in a contented place today. It felt good to sleep later than usual. I've got my bags packed. The dogs and cats are content. My wife is doing great and getting ready to go to a noon meeting. I'm grateful for many thi
ngs that I have in life including health, love, friends, a great program, and freedom.I'm going to post a few photos of things that I am grateful for.
Very very nice! Happy mini-vacation.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your downtime. Your photos are extraordinary.
I am grateful for EZ Cheez, garbage men, and good wine. Is it okay to say that on a recovery blog? Too late.
Love, SB.
