every Friday write a short story, poem or limerick
of 55 words, no more, no less and report
back to the G-man!!!


"Life is too short to wallow in anger,
self- pity, distrust and fear are a danger
To live life to it's fullest, is truly a test
of faith, hope and strength to truly be blessed.
Life's full of miracles, one day at a time
recovery's a process to trust with my heart,
my blessings divine."

Here ya go Mr. Know-it-All!! Hope I counted correctly. here goes my gratitude list 5 things;
1. today i am grateful for Chic Mama for giving me the primo award!! lovely piece of art.
2. today i am grateful for JROTC in High School, my "A's" team won her meet tonight!!
3. today i am grateful for the time i have spent with my little girls, playing with them in quarantine has bonded us even closer.
4. today i am grateful for protein shakes, with fruit and yogurt, nice little treat.
5. today i am grateful for my health, my recovery and my life.
6. today i am grateful for some humility, i so desperately need with Wes, so we can resolve some issues.

i hope you all have a wonderful weekend, i hope to check out and leave some comments this weekend, i don't usually have time to blog on the weekends but i try to stop by and see how the rest of my cyber community is doing. i hope to hit a meeting tomorrow and will send out an update on my girls as soon as possible. as for today's thought;
"Think for yourself and let others enjoy the privilege of doing so too."- Voltaire

Touching and heartfelt 55. Recovery is [at least for this alcoholic] a leap of faith. It feels good most days. On days it doesn't, I'll remember your words. Thank you.

Take a gander at my 55 for the week.

Ciao,

Chef Kar

What an excellent 55! Congratulations on your new Award, and on making the most of your time with your kids during quarantine---I've been thinking of you and still wishing a good recovery from that scare.

I **love** Voltaire; great choice for a quote today too.
