God is still in charge.
My wife still loves me and even seems to like me.
None of my clan died in the past year.
We have plenty to eat and a warm place to live.
Local wars (middle-East and Ukraine-Russia) have not yet escalated into WW3.
A couple of family members who were triggered by my opinions reached out and relationships might be starting to thaw.
For now, my income is sufficient for my needs.
I am still healthy although my doctor frowns when he looks at my blood lipid numbers.
I get to play around outside and use man-toys like chainsaws, axes, knives, firearms, fire, fishing rods and such.
I still have my eyesight, my hearing, my sense of taste and smell.
My neighbors mind their own business.
My biggest assignment today was to get the turkey into the oven by 7:15 AM and I got that done.
I can dink-around on this blog. It is my therapy.
No jack-booted thugs have come knocking on my door.
My needs are few. My desires are simple.
AMEN!

As Iron sharpens iron your blog is my daily read.
ReplyDeleteYour list is pretty darn good.
Have you given thought to Psyllium Husk aka Metamucil or the equate real sugar daily fiber I take every morning.
Done a nice job on both mine and my beloveds blood lipids.
My doctor suggested it. I will look into it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and family Joe.
ReplyDeleteMy bride found a recipe that involved cutting the turkey down the back and laying it flat, mostly. Cooked faster so moitster but also moister because it was closer to the melted butter in the pan. Yum. Roger
ReplyDeleteAnno 10:44 Spatchcock is the term. Cooks very quickly. Great way to do the turkey or chicken. ERJ what a wonderful list. You are truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteGood list!
ReplyDeleteJack booted thugs will be greeted "warmly".
