FoY - Mineral Hot Springs and RV Resort - Friday, Jan. 9, 2026

I am thankful to be alive.  I am grateful to awake to my little dog Madigan wanting attention and pets. 

I have had peaceful dreams of beautiful women, like sisters, sharing housing and space and meetings.  I have these two major locations of my dreams. This kind of condo or apartment complex with beautiful architecture and lectures halls. There we are passing each other. People are beautiful . We are all young in our 20’s to 40’s.  Then there is the other place equally appealing place on the wooded northern ridge where we are dressed in jeans and have quads and 4x4’s.  

I was at a meeting last night. I am so thankful for meetings and shared experience.  I am so thankful to be welcomed and feel a part of.  

It was a long day of work yesterday. I liked everyone and being of service and being challenged by th chemistry and medicine.  It was tiring.  I was glad when the evening came and my work was completed.

The winds came up and I was concerned for my Starlink.  I had already taken out one of the poles so it was low to the ground. I put a rock and the edge of the small propane tank on the base of the tripod to hold it down.  I have the pole buddy but the upper part of the one I have on the ladder is lose and I need to replace it with the other components I have or just a a tie to it. I have it as my task for today. Maintenance.

I walked Madigan twice to the pet park and he met with other dogs. He loves it here. I made it for a soak at the end of the day.  Lobster Pot.  I could go there now but I expect I’ll walk Madigan up to the dog park first. I’m having the morning coffee and challenged by building a schedule.

I enjoy Laura’s company because she has particular ways about doing things and if I were to ask her whether I should walk the dog or sit in the waters she’d have an ‘answer’. It’s joyful to share decisions with a friend even when they’re simple like what to eat tonight.  After a day of work I’m fairly brain trashed and the thought of simple things which task to do is often a challenge. I think of myself as ‘lazy’ but I’m obviously not. 

We discussed judgement and judgementalness.

We talked of journaling. So many do it now. Perhaps it’s been always this way.
I start my day reflecting on my relationship with God..

My purpose is to know God and do his will. God is loving and I say I play peek a boo with Jesus. I had a Vespa ride with Madigan on my schedule to Bombay Beach.  I have the potential of an on line meeting but the time in the middle of the day may conflict with activities like Bombay Beach. I want to have coffee there and also let Madigan run on the beach.  

I feel good walking Madigan to the pet walk. There’s an uphill climb and it’s exercise.  I’ve the foundation training to do and so far have missed that today.  My mornings are most productive and today I have so little planned.  Perhaps this afternoon I’ll fix the pole buddy.  I brought the Starlink satellite in last night and might do that today.  I have pegs somewhere but would have to find them.  

Todays’ Bible Verse - Beloved , let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.”

I love family friends, madigan and impressionist paintings and palm trees and indoor plumbing and electric blankets and fine food and coffee.

I am grateful for all I love.  

In the daily reflections the discussion is ‘Providence - the protective care of God”. I feel providence as I drive my motorhome on the freeway. That is for sure.  I feel providence in the protection of my Starlink antenna in the winds .  

I like to journal as a place to put my pictures each day.

I bought a FoY hat and a FoY towel from the grocery store. I have the tshirt from last year.  When I sit in Lobster Pot in the afternoon the afternoon sun is in my eyes.  The ball cap will address that.  I like that it’s big and fits but I bought a grey white one and don’t know what I was thinking because I get everything dirty that’s light colored but all my other hats are black or blue.  

I like that I have some peace of mind today though this morning it’s not so evident.  I’ll walk the dog and give thanks to God and Jesus for this sunny day  Holy Spirit come!!!
