Today I am grateful...

• for the countdown...20 days
• to chuckle with William
• that I remembered last night to change the time on eight clocks and my watch
• that in the past my celebrations of Halloween went from festive to just the bottle and I. Last night I just enjoyed the costumes and was home by 10:00.
• that usually I need to keep my opinions to myself
• that if I ever share from the stage on birthday night for more than three minutes please shoot me
• that one day my ripple will dissolve into the ocean

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.-Anais Nin

Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.-Charlotte Bronte

I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer.-Colette
