This is the Thursday before the Fourth of July weekend. The weekend that the United States of America celebrates it’s independence from England. This had me wondering this morning if England has an independence day that it celebrates. If they do, it must go back to the time of the Roman Empire. Things have really…

Things Change
Today I am very fortunate that I have a roof over my head, food in my belly and I am healthy. My oldest son has learned this past weekend that there are reactions to our choices, so we had better make some good ones. He unfortunately did not and is now seeing an orthopedist. Some…
What Day is It?
I really do not know. I am grateful that my partner, Grace, reminded me that today is Thursday. In a four day period, Grace and I have driven enough miles to cover half of the country, all within only three states. I still have some traveling to do this week and next, but I am…
Safe Harbor
I don’t know, this title just popped into my head.

Remember
Earlier this evening someone reminded me that today was Thursday, oh right, I need to post on the Gratefulness Series. So I am Grateful that there are people in my life who help me remember. I don’t mind being reminded because I can be forgetting.
It is Good
This past weekend was a fantastic weekend! I did not want it to end. It was spent with a very special friend that I had not seen for several weeks and we just had a great time, working, playing and just relaxing. It ended too soon. Yesterday and today I have been working with a…
Little Things
I have a confession. I have been taking some things for granted. I was told by a very special person that I have become to comfortable. This is true. I quit doing some of the things that I should do. I do not mean to take things for granted and I would never think of…
Still Moving…
You can knock me down and I will get back up. This reminds me of the fight scene in Rocky; the very first Rocky movie. If your mind is made up to do something, then really, there isn’t anything that can stop you from accomplishing it. What the mind can conceive the body can achieve….
