Thank you (((Liz))) and (((P))) for your kind posts. Having my coffee and cigarettes (I won’t lie). Yesterday was a gamble free day as well. I spent three hours yesterday with Charles in the chat room. I try and be grateful for what I have in life but after chatting with Charles, I felt an even greater sense of gratefulness, peace, and joy. It’s the everyday things like feeding the birds, seeing wildlife, flower gardening, and my cats that bring me joy. The activities that don’t involve gambling. I talked to Danny last night and told him that I was refusing his offer of understanding if I gamble once a month with three hundred dollars. Some time back we came to an agreement that if he wasn’t nasty to me, I wouldn’t gamble. Works for me!! Today will be gamble free as I’m not going to town. I plan on vacuuming my place of all cat hair. Plus I told my renter/casual friend that I would make us chili tonight. Carole
