A metaphor for my take on life and how it affects me. |

| When I awoke this morning it was 41° outside and though brisk it wasn't bad., Once the sun came up I was able to take my dog Gracie out for our morning walk. We had been doing 1 and 1/2 miles and this morning I bumped it up to 2 miles.It felt good and I enjoyed the walk. I'm sure my companion enjoyed it also. She's always ready to head out anytime I ask her to go!. The high temp today was 63° and it was comfortable. It looks like the next five days will be in the mid 50's to mid 60's, not bad for winter. Of course we're talking about California and the High Desert in Apple Valley. The home of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. For those who are not familiar with these two people they were, (both have passed) western movie stars in the 50's and through the 70's. I never met either one but I've seen the homes they lived in. Our temps make me feel happy I'm not living on the east coast with the storms that are coming there way. At one time I did live in the San Bernardino Mountains, in a city called Crestline. That's where I found out a snow shovel doesn't fit my hands. One winter, when I was first married, we lived in an A frame cabin, and I was working in Los Angeles. I would get up at 3am and shovel my car and my wife's car out and put chains on both cars. Then drive down the hill and take the chains off and then drive to Los Angeles about 60 miles away to work. Once the day was over I drove home and put chains back on and then had to shovel my way back into our parking space because the snow plow had come by. The lessons you learn as you get older! I think that is enough reminiscing Remember Life is Good and God is Great |
| Day 2 of Year 2025, nothing new locally, the news is about the truck plowing into the people in New Orleans and the Tesla Truck that blew up in front of Donald Trumps Hotel in Las Vegas. One wonders what the world is coming to! Coexistence is no longer in our vocabulary, you're either on one side or the other. There is no common ground, no meeting in the middle. I wonder how we'll ever get any laws passed when people can't work together. This year will probably be one we never imagined. Of course this is pure speculation on my part, and if I was a betting man I would put some money down. Can we come together with the new President and the people he is selecting to help run the country? Are there Congressmen/women and Senators who will put there ideology to the side and work together pass laws that are needed in so many areas. I don't know that I'm an optimist but I'm ever hopeful that life will get better for the general public. We need someone with direction and not a dictator. Let us build something we'll be proud of! This was somewhat DEEP - so I'll call it quits for the night Remember Life is Good and God is Great |
| Happy New Year - What will 2025 bring, fun, excitement, adventure, or disappointment, shame, and fear of failure? I don't care, I'll take what comes my way, both my wife and I will face each incident, when they occur together. We've been a team for 37 years. We worked through the good times and bad and kept on going. We've had our share of heart ache and glorious times and we look forward to what comes our way! No Crystal Ball to see into the future, we make the best of any situation when it happens. I believe that God is with us, and he shares our triumphs and disappointments and shows us the best way to tackle a problem or celebration. I'm Ready 2025, Bring It On. Lets have some fun! Remember Life is Good and God is Great |
