Today is another simple post but it is not a small affair; my gratitude is huge! You may or may not know that this past two weeks the state of California has been battling many different fires. Families have had to evacuate their houses and in some cases have lost their house or property. There…

This week has been a productive week, but I am ready for it to end and for the weekend to begin. I am looking forward to spending the weekend with Grace on Sur la Mer. I am looking forward to some relaxation while doing some work on Sur la Mer. There are a couple of…

Today is very simple, but I am so grateful! My father passed away just before turning Sixty; he had colon cancer. His father had passed away before my father, at an older age than Sixty, of colon cancer as well. So I get pressure from my mother, my doctor and my beautiful partner, in life,…

This week I am on a self-imposed quarantine. I am having a simple, preventive procedure done, the beginning of next week, and if I quarantined for a week, then it could be done in a private surgery center versus having it done in a hospital. I have been playing Russian Roulette with COVID-19, but why…

This past weekend was a wonderful weekend! I spent it with a very good, long time friend, some of my family and my beautiful partner, Grace. We all came together to celebrate the moving of Grace into her new home. Sunday morning several of us boarded Sur La Mer and then we proceeded to move…

Things that are worth having are not always easy to obtain. It could be something financial, material or even spiritual, but they usually do not appear in front of you when you wake up in the morning. Most times it comes with a lot of hard work and quite a few failures. Even in matters…

Tonight is going to be short and sweet. I am grateful that I did not have to drive all of the way home from Sacramento. I am grateful that my sister and my brother in-law are able to tolerate me enough to allow me to sleep at their house. I am tired and ready to…

Today I really cannot pinpoint one thing that I am overly grateful for. I am grateful for everything that is going on in my life. Even if it isn’t something that I enjoy, I am at least learning something about it. So I am protesting that I am grateful for my life. I really am…

Today I am absolutely, without a doubt, very grateful that Fifty-three years ago a wonderful girl was born! She is one of the best things that could happen to a person and I am grateful that she is sharing her life with me! There are many reason that I am so happy to have her…

Today I am grateful for the people who are around me that chose to go to a college or university, who chose a higher education, so that they may collect money from me and counsel me on my health, businesses and life. You may think that I am being sarcastic, but I really am grateful…
