Monday night, I worked and here I am, later than normal. How are you? I'm tired but happy. Material that my clients want---how to
have and develop safe/balcony relationships, I'm creating. Everything is coming along fine. Would you like me to share it here? Let me know.
I made it to work today, on time, even though the back wheel to my bike was stolen Sunday morning, sometime before 1:30 a.m.
My life is up for improvements. More about that, in another post.
My Gratitudes for Monday:
1. I had to be on my toes today. No two days are alike. No two sessions with the same client are alike. Variety, creativity, deep thought, much disciplined study and a good memory keeps me in good stead.
2. I look forward to seeing a friend this Saturday. Can't wait.
3. I'm working on a new poem. That's a nice change from my routine. I hadn't written a poem in years until last month.
4. Someone today hated himself. I was glad being a support, letting him know he is a valued, loved and gifted individual.
5. A client I haven't seen in awhile, the result of a new but demanding job, called me, wanting to see me. We're back on track, we'll work on issues of hers.
6. I stood up to manipulation. That felt great. I value my autonomy, dignity and my right to make my own choices.
How About You?

Dear Innkeeper,
On this Tuesday night, I am grateful...
1. For a pleasant if brief visit with my older sister today in Walnut Creek, while taking care of some banking matters for our aging Mom.
2. For cough syrup, orange juice home-made, Polish soup, an abbreviated work-day schedule, which afforded some much needed rest.
3. For a new, free, home-style haircut tonight, just in time for Christmas!
4. For finally beginning to stuff and label our Christmas Card/Photos, so we can get them in the mail, in time.
5. For some unexpected prosperity today at work, via holiday dining lobster purchases from some of my high-end chefs.
6. For a new, ever expanding gathering of friends tomorrow night, in a quiet corner, on a quaint island in the bay, to share our experiences, strength and hope!
7. For the following tradition, which is so fitting, in light of this new gathering; "Principles Above Personalities."
Dear Innkeeper,
On this Thursday night, I am grateful;
1. For two, separate, intense, challenging, and yet moving and gratifying meetings last night with a wise and honest mentor and a sweet circle of sensitive and deeply thoughtful friends. We shared our experiences; tears and laughter, our strength and our hope in healing - so nourishing and needed during this Christmas Season.
2. Meeting with two, separate, world-renowned, celebrity chefs today who unexpectedly extended genuine handshakes of gratitude for our kind service.
3. Giving one chef a humble tin of Christmas "biscuits" and, again, unexpectedly encountering thankfulness. It is "the thought that counts!"
4. A homemade, winter comfort-food, pasta dinner!
5. The "Mute" button on the TV Remote Control - what a blessing! Could we not at times, all use a mute button for certain individuals or situations, in our daily lives?
6. Nearly completing our Christmas Cards.
7. That the "spare the air," secret police lifted the 9 or 10 consecutive day ban, so we could actually build fires and heat our home properly; the old fashioned, Neanderthal way. I believe they are engaged in a kick-back conspiracy with PG&E! How about a "spare our heating bill day (or week)?"
8. For some of the recent, touching and heartfelt film roles Queen Latiffah has blessed us with.
