The Innkeeper Rested After Breaking His Computer

     Good evening everyone,

I went and did it.  My computer, I killed it.  It no longer works, as of last night. Wow.
And, I have 14 minutes to write this. I'm at the library. They are about to close, so, I'm a bit limited tonight, in my writing.

   (I dropped my laptop and it no longer powers up.)

    A change in my schedule allowed me to stay home and rest.  My Higher Power knows me better than myself.  I ended up sleeping throughout the afternoon, unintentionally.

    Thank you for dropping by. You can keep this place open with your comments. It may be awhile before
I can see my guy who works on computers for me. He's located 25 miles away, one-way.

    I've asked our assistant innkeeper to do a guest posting here, to attend to this place in my absence. Also, Keith, Broken, Loredana or Syd, if you any of you could do a guest blogger post, that would be great!

Getting My Gratitudes In:

1.  I appreciate silence.  My books kept me company. A charming time to reflect and nurture myself.
2.  I studied Myers-Briggs material today, among other readings.  It was refreshing, allowing me to better understand others and myself.  I'm an INFJ, the Counselor.
3.  I'm glad to be in the inn, right now. I have four minutes left.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Do you miss me? :->
4.  I'm glad I still have my arm. I can see that I can still improve in my communication skills, however.
5.  I love each of you who drop by, including my Silent Readers, those who drop by without checking in.
6.  There's been an uptick in guests. Sunday, we had three hundred visitors.  I'm thankful this place is a source for solace and encouragement, where we can find a respite from our busy schedules.
7.  I'm thankful for all who share their gratitudes and what is alive within them.

How About You?
What are your three gratitudes for today?  I'd love hearing them!

Dear Pablo,

Thanks for posting before the crash!

Tonight I am grateful,

1. My wife and I could host "get-well" well-wishers, visitors today for the first time.

2. For post-surgical regularity. I did a "victory lap" around the outside of home tonight to celebrate.

3. I could go beyond my initial "blockage" and come up with an impromptu Inn post, and hope it is helpful.

4. I can attend my first physical therapy session tomorrow morning.

5. I could go beyond time, space and knee-replacement pain, finding the energy to stay up until 1:30 AM to pen a blogpost.

Pablo. I'd be happy to do a guest post. Could I use a previous post or would you like me to use something specific? Just shoot me an email and let me know.
