My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Pretty purple gladiolas.
2. Preparing the Perfect Roast Chicken (at least according to Ina Garten.)
With a little help from Robert and his gay watch band …
It was quite the hit!
3. The occasional afternoon nap. What a treat.
4. Crusty, buttery bread.
5. Celebrating HR’s birthday with pizza and Donna.
May you have cause to celebrate this weekend.
And at home …
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. This new (to HR and me) hot sauce we discovered at a local Mexican restaurant yesterday. So good with a hot and smokey flavor.
2. The beautifully rustic little cabin we stayed in at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, GA earlier this week.
3. Meeting some very neat home-for-the-summer college kids at a corn farm.
4. Robert’s homemade pizza for supper tonight.
5. Georgia Peaches!
I hope you have a Peach of a Weekend ahead!
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Reflective spoons.
See me?
2. Being married to a gay man who likes cut flowers… THROUGHOUT the house.
Today, for example …
3. The incredible gift of being able to see. To open my eyes each morning, look around and actually see! What a joy.
4. Celebrating a month, dedicated to our mental health.
And for anyone who is interested, here’s a link to my “Protocol for Anxiety.” As many folks do, I deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder from time to time. These strategies help.

5. Friday!
“Yellow”
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
I have been a bit lax with blog posts for a week or so. Dealing with a few issues.
But here are some Happy Bringers (a day late) :
1. This beautiful old, OLD live oak tree near us here in Historic District Savannah. It may be gnarled and off-balance a bit (hmmm, so am I), but it is magnificent in its glorious longevity.
2. HR, with his shiny pate, working on our sidewalk plants.
3. My Cold Scallop Salad for dinner tonight.
4. Placing one foot in front of the other in life.
5. Realizing that sometimes we have to get closer to see simple and natural beauty.
May you see some beauty this weekend!
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Asparagus and corn for our Meatless Tuesday this week (Monday fell through.)
2. Grandson Gabriel (far right, front) and his friends enjoying the eclipse.
3. The amazing ability to see. Try this: move your head slowly to the left and then to the right, noticing how many colors you see along each way.
4. Robert’s aunt’s colorful homemade placemats.
5. This beautiful Purple Clematis fearlessly climbing on a house near us.
I hope nothing eclipses your chances for a Joyful Weekend ahead.
“Picnic”
Today, Robert, ex-wife Donna and I had a lovely picnic along the banks of the beautiful Wilmington River here in Savannah.
Delicious Family Joy
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. HR and I attending a very cool “high tea” here in Savannah with daughter Amy and ex-wife Donna.
2. Wisteria in Savannah!
Can you smell it?!
3. Being able (at least occasionally) to “let things go.”
4. On our recent trip to Baltimore, Robert being reunited with some of his artwork from his childhood.
No, no, don’t try to buy it. It’s priceless!
5. Deviled eggs.
May your weekend smell better than wisteria and taste better than deviled eggs!
