Yesterday I had a moment to reflect on some future actions that I may take.  If I choose to do so, some people very close to me, whom I love very much, may choose not to talk with me or think that I am a bad person.  I reflected and realized that I am not…

On a daily basis I thank the lord for my health, food, shelter and the opportunities that is provided to me.  I also pray that I recognize the opportunities and take action on them.  That is the biggest part of any success, ACTION! I am grateful for the opportunities that the lord provides; I am…

I can remember being at the beach house with the family and someone would see something out in the ocean, usually a whale or dolphins, and my mom would look through our binoculars to get a better view of whatever it was that we saw.  I currently own three pairs of binoculars.  They really do…

I am very grateful for my faith in God.  Life happens and lessons are learned; my belief in the one God allows me to know that if I stay true to myself and to others, work to make this world a better place for all to live, that my life will move forward in a…

I am grateful for the ability to do and be whatever I want to do and be in this life.

He will be missed, every…

Yesterday, Grace and I, had dinner with my Zia K. and her husband. The last time we saw them was through a screen door, during the Covid pandemic. It was great to sit down and catch up with both her and her husband. She is my aunt by marriage; meaning that she was married to…

Today I had the privilege of driving across two-thirds of our state.  I used Highway 99 and eventually cut over to Highway 5 in Stockton.  I stopped in Visalia, Woodland and have ended up at my sister’s house just outside of Davis.  This is a business trip and I will probably be driving back on…
