No visuals

I don't have any pictures to post this evening but I wanted to write anyway. Today was a wonderful day. I facilitated a girls' group at Juvenile Hall for an hour and the kids were polite and receptive. I showed them how they could keep a gratitude journal and gave them some art supplies so they could decorate their own. I promised them that if they maintained a gratitude journal daily they would see welcome changes. I firmly believe that we can retrain our minds to focus on what's good and wonderful in this world just by listing five good things each day. It's hard to stay depressed when awareness is organized in such a positive direction.

Later I went to a Chinese restaurant in Novato with friends. Beulie stayed under the table happily chewing on a toy. I wasn't home until after 10:00 pm, a late night for an old lady, but hey! it's Friday night!
