Seriously!

Seriously! I'm just shy of a year since my last post. Out of sight, out of mind. I don't think about this blog thing until the worst times. Then I forget when when I have time. It funny to me that I'm on it now. Just yesterday I was going through my links and deleted or moved a bunch and the link for this blog appeared on my bookmark bar because I had made enough room for it.

Anyway, life gets busy and at times even lazy. That is no excuse. Each of us needs to show we are grateful for our blessings. My theory: If we don't show gratitude to those around us and to God, we will grow into old crotchety people that no one wants to be around, and we will offend God. Not good! I want to steer clear of that.

I have been sick lately. Still, for the most part, I'm healthy. I have 2 legs that work (mostly). I have 2 arms and hands that work. Although, at times, I wonder if my head is still attached, I recently discovered it's fairly permanent. I am grateful for this.

I have really had a hard time over this past year or so. Trying to get over a bad knee surgery and having to move has definitely had its toll on me. Now, I could focus on the negative of this, which in some cases I think I've done too much of, or I can be thankful for my home and family and the fact that I can still walk. I need to take advantage, while I still can, of these blessing. I have good neighbors and friends, a wonderful family and I have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. What could be better? Really, nothing! God and Family is key, then comes friends and neighbors. Serve them and you will find joy and happiness. I need to remember this more often. I'm a simple man with a hard head.

Until next time, Thank you!
