Good evening everyone,
A good day was had by your innkeeper. I cried perhaps six times today. But they were good tears. I am exhausted, but
it's a good tiredness. I've been discharging a lot of energy that was pent up inside me. I'll sleep well, tonight.
Tonight, I had dinner with a friend, Orzie. It was great seeing him. We had not gotten together since November. We went to a Thai restaurant, the Lotus.
It's my favorite, located in Oakland, on Piedmont Ave. I was surprised that when I pulled out my wallet, my friend insisted on treating me. I didn't expect him to do so. That's the first time in more than a year that that has happened. What a pleasant change.
My oldest son is celebrating his big day with his friends this evening. Tomorrow, my sons and I will celebrate it again. Afterwards, I'll take him shopping.
This afternoon Pablo Jr. and I spoke. I read to him what I wrote in my previous post. I got choked up, but that's more than okay, it's healthy. We had a wonderful talk. I was able to reminisce some with his mom. I'll appreciate the pleasantries we shared, letting go the contentious subject she needed to add during what was initially a conversation of fond memories.
For this month we've been averaging about 180 unique guests a day with about a thousand page hits every two days. Thank you, for keeping company. I'd love hearing from the many of you who are Silent Readers, those who drop by without leaving your gratitudes. It helps create community in this inn when you do.
2. For the conversation he and I had today. I'm glad he told me that he know I love him deeply. That's quite a bit for a business major to admit!
3. For tears. Only a strong person can allow himself to be vulnerable and gentle. It's great for me: I'm a happier person because I'm not living within the coffin of hard outward exterior. I'm able to feel my feelings and accept them.
4. For the fellowship I had with Orzie. When I replied to a text message from him, I didn't realize he normally has an exercise class tonight.
He cancelled his plans, took Bart from San Francisco to meet me and then footed the bill at the restaurant. I was shocked by what he did, so we could meet. I'm thankful for his friendship.
He's a new brother that I've added to my family. We had a great conversation. I talked more than I usually do. That sometimes happens when I'm with a friend, someone who is more than an acquaintance.
5. I'm thankful for my improving health. I'm not one hundred percent healthy, but I'm getting there.
Alright friends, I'm bushed. I'm heading for bed.
May you have a great and grateful Tuesday,
The Innkeeper

My Gratitudes for Today:
1. For the blessing of having my first-born son. He's a terrific young man. 2. For the conversation he and I had today. I'm glad he told me that he know I love him deeply. That's quite a bit for a business major to admit!
3. For tears. Only a strong person can allow himself to be vulnerable and gentle. It's great for me: I'm a happier person because I'm not living within the coffin of hard outward exterior. I'm able to feel my feelings and accept them.
4. For the fellowship I had with Orzie. When I replied to a text message from him, I didn't realize he normally has an exercise class tonight.

Alright friends, I'm bushed. I'm heading for bed.
May you have a great and grateful Tuesday,
The Innkeeper
