Today was a beautiful 69 degree, sunny day. I got a massage. I had quality time with OddHat, he made me yummy spaghetti for dinner. He bought me fruit, yogurt and cupcakes, we have that annual crack known as Girl Scout Cookies and my cats are happy because I bought some plastic boxes and now they have boxes to sleep and play in until I fill them.

I am feeling content and that all is right with the World. Just for tonight I feel there is no axe to grind, no past to regret or future to worry about. There are no struggles to engage in or people to please. There is no need to compare my insides with other people's outsides. Just for tonight I feel that all is well and there are no problems that can't be solved.

I hope to have more days like this. I'm getting on my nerves with my depression, physical complaints and food obsession. I'm sick of them. I think it's time to turn all three over to God and just do what is before me to do each day, one day at a time.

I made another gratitude list today. It is long and varied. My friends on this board are on it. This board should be on it too. If I really thought hard I could fill several pages.

I will remember this day when, inevitably, I feel bad again. If I expect good days every day I will have more of them. If I reach out to people, they will meet me. If I do some work I will help others. If I just show up, that's 90 percent of the battle. If I put myself where beauty is, I will feel closer to God.

Blessings.
