Well, it's been a quiet week in

K'ville, at least in my corner of this world. That can be a good thing though at times it seems almost too quiet. But when I recall how excitement can be borne of trial, maybe this is better.

Had a fine dinner Saturday evening with old acquaintaince (not that she's old, just that I've known her for several years).  Always good to catch up and learn what's been happening with folk.  She works with local not-for-profit, one of many agencies trying to help where it's needed.  I'm thankful for people who try to take care of things I'm not capable of doing. 

Funny thing, though, wherever people are involved there can be trouble.  Even the do-gooders get into situations or cause problems.  She's smart, insightful and resourceful; she'll be OK, but I hope she can resolve her issues and move on to something sustaining, not just financially.

As I said, excitement may come from problems, not joys.  But sharing experiences and information with a friend is a positive thing; I learned stuff that may help me.  Maybe she did as well.

Too lazy yesterday to go to club with girl child to work out.  Shoulda gone.  Will do better this week.  I've lots of excuses for my poor behavior, just not very good reasons.  God, don't you hate personal responsibility.  I'm too old to blame my parents, too long divorced to blame either husband, and the kids never were at fault for my stuff.  Wonder if I could find a way to blame the dogs.
