I am Thriving

I took this picture a couple of years ago at friend's home during a big renovation project. The splotchy building behind the beautiful yellow flowers is an interesting juxtaposition. By the way, these trumpet shaped flowers are VERY POISONOUS!

Tonight I was at a nice meeting at my friend's house, same house as the flowers above. The point of this meeting series is to use steps from a program called "Thrive" to reprogram our brains to work as they were intended to work...had we not been traumatized, neglected, addicted to something...or any other thing that throws the brain out of whack. It's very interesting.

I look forward to jump-starting my brain. Half of my brain went on a holiday and we have not been in contact for a while. Maybe I will be more efficient and better able to cope with ordinary life better after this Thrive thing? The ultimate goal is to have a better relationship with God and also with the others in our lives.
I'm all for that.

I am grateful for the hospitality of my Joyful friend tonight.
I am grateful for the selfless act of my Joyful friend's husband giving up his television tonight, missing the All-Stars Baseball game, so that we could have our Thrive video.
I am grateful for the box of all-fruit ice pops my friend gave to me tonight (I ate a grape one on the drive home in my car).
I am grateful that all of my birds are quietly sleeping as I type this blog.
