finish up what i need to do.
been procrastinating on that.

had a good time with the girls last night
that was a cute story she wrote about the
creatures under water
in today's ecological mess i think it is right
on target.

the centering prayer is great
i've got the morning down pat
i have to work on the evenings.

maybe i'll do an hour in the a.m.
and just thrity minutes in the p.m.
that might work.

also the welcoming prayer
god, i have that down pat
i let go of my desire for affection and esteem
i let go of my desire for security and safety
i let go of my desire for power and control
i let go of my desisre to change the situation.

right on target.

and the action prayer.

i put my trust in you oh, lord.
right on target.

i still have to go through the boxes
and i will.

thanksgiving is fast approaching.
going to make a ham
and tommy's favorite chicken cutlet parmigan.

jenny was cute dressed up as the mad hatter.
she is such a beautiful girl.

i need to buy a phone bood today.

call johnny boy and get maria's phone number and address.

dot emailed me she told marion she is leaving the end of
the month.

i am going to call marion today
hopefully she'll give me some work.

let's see what will i do today.

since the dog is pulling on my socks i will feed him first.
then i will do
1. centering prayer
2. spiritual reading
3. shower
give the dog a shower too.


4. pull out food for supper
5. library
6. write an hour
after the library call marion see if she has any jobs for me
and let her know i am still around.

7. maybe go to the library in liberty to see what they are doing as
far as knitting.

8. get some meat for sandwiches.
9. eat lunch.
10. call advantage software about 2 o'clock.
think i will do the p.m. centering prayer, and try the lectio.

11. clean the bathroom.
12. do two boxes.
13. make dinner.
14. work on transcript and maybe print it out.

15. go over see jenny give her her 100.
16. give her the mailings to do.

i would like to try the centering in the evening i have it as part of
10, i have to try this one out. i am thinking about 30 minutes, and then
lectio, i am also thinking about putting in another 30 minutes of writing
in the p.m. that would make it twice a day.

it's six o'clock already.
johnny swears he didn't wake me up
and it doesn't feel like six o'clock
it is still dark out.

if i start working freelance
december should be slow
so i think i'll print out what i wrote this year and
put it in my magic rock book III

thursday there is something
what is it.

the lesser of two evils.

want to do list
i want to check out ecuador
i would like to get a condo on the beach.
i would like to buy a small property that
had enough room for us to do a garden, that johnny
could do.

i'd like to keep the property here in new york.

john came up with a good active prayer
oh, lord let me see things as they really are.

it's six zero five.

think i'll make some coffee.
eat my breakfast.
feed the dog.
and take a shower.

in that sort of order
but not exact.

it was a big yellow mum
in a slender vase.
they were perfect for each other
and complimented the day
in all its morning glory.

it was going to be a good day.
praise the lord
alleluia allelua

good morning lord
what have you in store for me today

what goodies are luring around the corner.
is the sun going to shine like an orange fire
in the sky
and am i going to make a big deposit in the cosmic bank

or is it going to be a little orange globe just enough
to nudge and entice me to step out of my comfort zone
and head for parts unknown

whichever it is
i wait with great anticipation
for your coming.

oh, lord in you i put my trust.
amen
alleluia.
