IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Higher Power, I know I'll never understand everything, but will you please teach me something interesting today? Thank You. -Hazelden meditation

Chester woke me at 4 a.m. with his turning in circles. I don't know if he can't get comfortable, is confused, has dementia or is in pain. He falls often and I have to guide him as he turns. It breaks my heart and I do not know how much time we have left together. I put him in his corral and he has been busy pacing since then, an hour ago.

Just finished my second cup of coffee and am toasting a bagel which I will have with a couple of boiled eggs. Last night after the birthday meeting a bunch of us were gonna go to Senor Rita's (they were just about the only place open after the hurricane) and hot Mexican food sounded so good. But they were out of food. So I came home and snacked and boiled the half dozen eggs I had in the fridge. "...and some boiled ones for snacking!" --Miss Edie the Egg Lady. That's a picture of her in her crib from the movie 'Pink Flamingos'.

Today I am grateful to be sober, to have many loved ones, and to be living as honestly as I can. Celebrating life with others in recovery. Following the road to happy destiny.

Your so lucky. I've been craving for eggs since Wednesday. Maybe we'll have an open grocery store today. One can only hope.

Higher powered brings up some vey good points.

Look at what is before you for today and enjoy each and every moment gift, Chester, coffee, bagels, your egg, and the fact that you were inside your home last night, 24 hours after a hurricane warning. What great gifts!

The INCDREIBLE, EDIBLE EGG! Love that.
We ended up at Hollywood with a long night of catching up - mostly cause it took forever to get our food.

So thankful all is well considering what you've been through and what could have been.

So thankful you are there and I am here after you eating all those eggs.

P.U.
