I Need Dependability, Reliability In My Relationships With Others

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.”
Lionel Hampton

       Hey, I just got in from watching a double feature this evening at a movie theater. It was a change from my normal routine. One of the movies was excellent. The other was pretty good, too. 
      Today, for a Bay Area newspaper, I interviewed a popular columnist. It was fun.
      I'll see a client tomorrow and later will meet with someone I mentor, we'll share lunch. I'm happy my normal schedule is resuming.  

Without Further Ado, Gratitudes for Today. 

1. An enjoyable conversation with a good friend this afternoon was a nice way of capping my workday. 
2. I'm feeling healthier. 
3. I reached out to a new friend and the person responded. Friendship is not a friendship if there isn't reciprocity. 
4. Watching movies on Tuesday is not something I do often. I appreciated the variety to my week. I liked the friend who went with me tonight. I'm glad he was flexible enough to do something spontaneous, going there was unplanned.
5. One of my sons told me he liked the fact we've been doing more things as a family. I appreciate being appreciated for my efforts. 
6. I'm sleeping better. When recently sick with congested lungs, nose and a sore throat, it was difficult sleeping well. My illness is 98% gone, am I glad.
7. I enjoy those who write comments here. I look forward to hearing from you.
8  I'm thankful for the courage I had to end a friendship recently. It shook up my friend. He's realizing there was a need for mutuality and reciprocity on his part.
9. Today, I worked on the A of G Alphabetical Inndex. I'm not done, but it's a start.  Many of the links in this inndex don't work.  The listed link address need to be changed to the address of this inn. I like seeing the progress I made. 
10. I value discernment. It allows me to understand more clearly the nature of my friendships with others. It helps me know which are healthy and which relationships I need to avoid.
11. I like people who keep their word. I enjoy having reliability, dependability, consistency and responsibility in my connections with others. 
       I've shared my gratitudes. I ask for at least three. May I ask you to share yours, would that be possible? Doing so contributes to the community, fellowship, and communication we share here.  
       Looking forward to hearing from you,
