Sunday before Christmas 2007

I thank you all for the comments posted. It is good to keep in touch and to have a place to enter my thoughts and musings. I have played with the idea of maybe posting philosophical musings and thoughts that come to me at times. Such things as what might be the cause of some form of behavior or my feelings about some happening or forms of conduct. Maybe just a satirical essay, if I am capable of such works. I don't know, but it could be fun.

Some of the thoughts that I have had are my remembrances of the father of us. I have my memorys and you all have yours and maybe someplace in the middle of it all is the actual truth of it. If there is any real truth.

All I know right now is that I have computed the length of time that TE was on this earth and it has come to my attention that I have lived longer than he did. And I am in no way ready to check out any time soon. Life has become very precious to me. I hurt like hell some days from getting older but so what!!!! I enjoy being around people and trying to stir up the pot and make them think and feel about life. The gift that we have all been given by the good lord. The chance to experience the joys and sorrows of our fellow man, our children, and the beauty of the world around us. I love my life. I love my wife. I love my children. I love each and everyone of my siblings and their offspring. I could not say that 10 years ago, but it is so much the truth now. I have a new home in Pensacola that we will be moving into in the near future. We spent today getting new appliances for the kitchen, a new dining room table... made of marble believe it or not.. and other diverse Christmas presents.

I have also spent the day trying to train a new golden retriever puppy who is nothing but love and mischief. But not a thing would I trade for the time and experience. I expect each and everyone of my sibs to come and visit SOON!!!!! Send me an email and I will post the new address to you all.

Tommorrow I have to return to the work a day world of retail, but I think that I will be looking forward to it with anticipation. There are grinches out there, but who cares. I will deal with them as they happen. So it is getting to the time that I must take this older shell for the young spirit that I feel I have found again and get some rest. So each and every one of you take care and the best of holiday wishes to you all.
