Today I am grateful...
- for hopes that Edouard won't turn into a hurricane
- for the incredible vegetarian enchiladas Ran and Jim made last night, and the homemade peach pie, too (with Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream)
- that I can be reminded of what I have by others that are struggling
- that my Higher Power has this unique ability to provide for me exactly what I need
- that I don't know how I do it sometimes, but I just keep trusting the process
I asked myself, "Why can't the Twelve Steps work to release me from this unbearable depression?" By the hour, I stared at the St. Francis Prayer: "It is better to comfort than to be comforted." ~Bill W

Good morning, ScottW.
I had some dynamite blue berry cobbler last night. The peach pie and ice cream sounds great too.
"Better Buy Blue Bell" We can get it here now! But alas, my husband doesn't like it very much. I got some orange sherbert theother day and yum yum was it ever good.
Will you ask Jim to make me a peach pie and bring/send it to me. I can take care of the ice cream item. Thank you in advance. he he
Well if they had worked an "I" into the spelling of that tropical storm they would have included ALL the vowels...
Nothing...but NOTHING, beats a daily "Gratitude List". Except "homemade peach pie, (with Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream...")
IMCP.

I hope you & Bunny stay snug as bugs in rugs until Ed blows over.
