  • My dad passed on 44 years ago on this date.  RIP dad and thank you for all you did for me and the family the years we had you. 
  • My father-in-law’s birthday today.  May he RIP.  
  • My step-son Devin turned 37 years old today.  He was 7 years old when I met him! Happy Birthday young man. ;)
  • Waking up sober and nicotine free another day.
  • My son.  He is pretty awesome.
  • God, as always. 
  • My family.  We had a fun time at Olive Garden yesterday and then hanging back at my brother and sis-in-law’s house later.  I did not stay up to go watch the fireworks.
  • Going to look at refrigerators today. Not looking forward to it but has to be done.
  • My pets.  
  • The day off to enjoy.  Nice weather out there too!
  • Grateful that two years ago around this time I got some things fixed in the house, dining room ceiling and new bathroom for the most part.  It was such a pain at the time.  I really struggled some days but nice to sit in my dining room and not worry about water leaking onto the carpet, table, etc.  
  • Memories of 4 years ago being on the East Coast. Came across some pictures yesterday in my Facebook memories of that time.  It was a good time and will treasure it forever.
  • I only have today and will live it to the best of my ability and work hard to do God’s will.

  1. I’ll bet your refrigerator is nice. Ours I bought for $100 at a yard sale. God provides.
    Happy July. I have read everything Elizabeth Berg and Jodi Picoult have written. Jodi started strong with My Sister’s Keeper.
