Day 6, 1/6/13 – Eat, a lazy day, so no going out to dine. There are, however, leftovers from a recent outing; enjoyed for the second time a Brie, Apple, Turkey, and Chutney sandwich. I do love Brie! Pray, my prayer today is for myself that I continue to enjoy good food this year while keeping in mind my overall goal to lose weight and get into better physical condition. Joy, I experienced joy today just by being by myself and doing whatever I liked. I have discovered that being alone does not mean that I am lonely. 

Day 5, 1/5/13 – Eat, ah, the quest for excellent Mac & Cheese continues. An excellent sample was found at Grand Lux Cafe today and shared with Linda, Rick and Marilyn, good food with good friends. Pray, my prayer today is for all those affected by the recent gun violence in Connecticut and peace as the families move through their grief. Joy, I loved the weather today, sunny and in the fifties, gorgeous! A warm, sunny day in January brought me joy.

Day 4, 1/4/13 – Eat, if prepared well, snow crab is the best and it was great. Pray, I pray that I will be a positive influence on those that matter most in my life. Joy, I loved seeing my boys today and having dinner together.

Day 3, 1/3/13 – Ever ordered from a shirt menu? I now have, we had Jambalaya and Mac & Cheese. Not bad! Pray, I prayed that daughter, Sarah & friend, Blake have safe travels home from holiday travels. Joy, I love shopping with a friend & people watching, priceless entertainment and joy!

Day 2, 1/2/13 – Eat, went to one of my favorite neighborhood places, Main Street Bistro with Sarah; and introduced her & the bartender to my new favorite drink with St. Germain, Hendrick’s  & Champagne. Marilyn, we need to give it a name, we will brainstorm later. Pray, I pray for safe travels to Melanie & son, Kelsey as they travel England to USA on 1/3/13. Love, I love being able to catch up with long time friends, like Cheryl as if no time has passed at all. Thank you for welcoming Sarah and I, it was great to see you. 

Day 1, 1/1/13 – I made & ate a great pot of black-eyed peas with good friends. I pray that friends, Fredda & Michelle experience peace as they grieve their recent loss. I love my 3 children; they are a blessing and bring me great joy!
