glasses full

I am growing and challenging myself daily, and it feels so good. I'm committed to conquering my sugar habits once and for all, and my leaning toward lethargy. Yoga certainly helps this.

I've been alphabetizing recipes and really kind of gung ho about helping one of my clients out. I've been developing clientele!! I like to call them friends. I don't know that you can get many places naming something as the other, it's all the same. That reminds me.

good story. I was at the restaurant where Eric works and they were feeding me. I was sitting there enjoying a glass of wine with the owner. The first glass i've had in eons by the way. The food was delish. Later a homeless woman walked in and asked boss to use the bathroom. He said sure, told her where it was. She came out of the bathroom, blanket and bag and all and had a seat right next to the wall of wine bottles. We finished eating, and soon I noticed she was sleeping. I was a little alarmed. He said, Oh, "it's okay, let her sleep...she can rest here." At the end of the evening, he wakes her and asks her politely to leave. Meanwhile he tries to make it a little more gentle by offering her some food. She suggested he give her a glass of wine. He didn't want to go there. There were 3 glasses of unfinished red sitting on the table next to me. I picked up my glass and handed it to her. She smiled with the biggest smile, "Thank you! Bless your heart!"

I'll leave the story at that. Because later the woman sat outside not wanting to leave, telling me not to worry my pretty little head. But for a minute, that made my heart warm. Anyway, the owner just kept saying, "she's no different from you or I" and I thought about all the little tests we get put through...to see how we will react, to see if we will react. such a good reminder.

Loving you all, and wishing you full glasses of all the wishes you could hope for,
