    Simple things

    Tuesday was my birthday! I was thinking about how I’ve had 61 years of blessings. A little adjustment in thinking. We seem to have a tendency to look back at all the things we’ve been through and have had to deal with throughout our years but if you stop and think: you’ve probably had some…

    I read a powerful quote today that really made me stop and think. Stop giving CPR to dead situations. Wow! I’ll pause so you can read that again. … I’m guilty of this. What about you? I’m not talking about getting together and talking about old times with friends, that can be a fun evening…
