Hello Friends!
37 Years Ago Today, I left my mother’s warm confines to confront cold reality. Like literally. I remember.
I have grown a little since then and life has had it’s ups and downs. Living for God has made the difference and I am blessed with a wonderful family, church, house, and job.
During these tough times I would like to impart that life is not a rat race to the top or a fight to aquire the latest toys.
Follow God’s ways and develop relationships with those you love.
That’s all I have for this post. I wish every one of you a blessed Sunday!

I really enjoy reading your blog. Infact, yours is the only blog I especially login to WP to read.
Wow! Thank you for the heartfelt compliment. Chandra is gearing his men up for battle and he might get the chance to redeem his men after losing the last one.
You’re welcome.
I am really excited with what Chandra is doing.
Ha ha! It may be anti climactic for the moment.
Patience is the key to success. Guess I will have patience.
We will see!

Thank you Tish! I am looking for tags for the duckies so I can name them!
That’s great! Have you decided on names yet?
No. It is hard to name chicks unless they really show a real personality trait that stands out. Sometimes they are boys when you thought they were girls!
Oh, I see! Will you be showing us pictures once they come?
Most assuredly, Tish!
Can’t wait!😊
Wish your birthday filled with smiles. May your days through the year be peaceful and successful. God bless and happy birthday.⚘
Thank you for the beautiful words, http://www.mercurytwin.com ! Photography can indeed be the story that is tough to put in words! Have an amazing Sunday in your neck of the woods!
You are welcome. Have a wonderful week ahead . Stay safe and healthy. Cheers .

Happy birthday! Rats are famous for running around in sewers, so it makes sense that their races aren’t on top of everything.
Not to be confused with the infamous hermit crab climb.
Exactly.
