Trouble maker

"The biggest trouble maker you'll have to deal with watches you shave his face in the mirror every day." I believe that one must be your own very best friend. If you are not, how can you befriend anyone. Put a smile on your face and have a wonder day.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it---but all that had gone before." This causes me to reflect about all the hardships, sweat tears and blood that many people suffered so that I could enjoy the life I have. It didn't happen overnight. We endure all we do so that those who follow us can perhaps travel a better road. I surly hope so.

Doing my own thing

My wife said "whatcha doing today?" I said "nothing". She said "you did that yesterday". I said "I wasn't finished". Well that is what you can do every day when you retire. I worked for 36 years and also put in over 24 years in the Navy. I actually do not just do nothing, I garden and help at the local school, do church work, and read a lot. Life is great.

Sunday

"A sunday well spent brings a week of content." To me Sunday is a special day to be devoted to God. I am almost 69 years old and I keep the Sabbath day holy. This is how I recharge my batteries for the coming week. I attend all my meetings and rest on Sunday like the GOOD BOOK tells us to.

Wow!!! a lot of time has went by since my last entry. I have had a remarkable year in and out of the hospital. My knee healed very quick and is doing well. I had a bladder problem and the doctor went in with a Laser to get rid of stones in there. The next month, I had Prostate surgery. I am now fully recovered and feeling fine. Life is wonderful. I will try to post more often.
