Another sundown firepit session
I just came in from sitting at the fire pit and listening to the night sounds. The 2nd quarter moon has already fallen behind the west horizon, but the stars are bright.

My plans for Thanksgiving 2012
Seductive carrots roasted with cinnamon, ginger, and pomegranate
In addition to a butternut squash (thanks to galpal Mary Jo Woolley,) I’ll have some roasted root vegetables including these for Thanksgiving. I’ve learned to eat light on holidays so I can end each year a few pounds lighter than the year before. Daily yoga and healthy eating is my miracle youthing secret. And yay, I just learned my Planet Fitness is open 7am until noon Thanksgiving, I’ll be hitting the treadmill for sure. I’ll drive a friend into work then spend the afternoon in the garden, playing. I am thankful I get to live the life I live.

No, thank you, you cannot post your promotional material on my Facebook wall. How would you like me going to your home and writing a big ad for ME on the front of your house? Not cool! That’s um, what I have a magazine for.

An Addiction Healing Prayer since we’re all addicted to something.
Addiction Healing Prayer: Beloved God, please help me recognize more joy in my life, so that I do not have to seek false and short lived fulfillment through my addiction(s).

– Most of all, assist me in seeing the greatness of my soul and remind me that I am worthy of true abundance.

This seems to happen a lot these days.
Had fun tonight being a fly on the wall in the midst of genius talent, listening to awesomeness in the making. However, when other people are involved, I cannot tell my story without telling their stories. I’ll keep you posted.
MARRIED OR NOT, YOU SHOULD READ THIS …
“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
