A warm Tuesday

Today is Maria and Katie's birthday, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you both had a great day!

I didn't do much today except work. I haven't been feeling too well but I haven't been taking good care of myself lately either. Got to start eating better and exercising.

Mom and Rob got home thanks to Dave. They got home around 3PM EDT spoke to them early but not tonight. I guess they are tired and went to bed early. Robert has work tomorrow and the trip took allot out of mom, although she was in great spirits!.

Looks like summer is getting ready to settle in here. Warm sunny days are in the forecast for the week. I hope I can keep a PMA (positive mental attitude) at work this week and don't let them bring me down. Have to find other things to keep me occupied beside work and the news.

I got a reply from Irwin, an old friend from Hunter Mountain days. He and his wife Deb are doing well and we have allot of catching up to do. There are times I wished I had never left Westkill. I met a lot of good people there. But time moves forward not back! I can only hope to re-forge old bonds and not have regrets for choices made in the past. I must remember to keep looking forward for it is too easy to lose myself in the past! Looking to the future is the only way to keep hope alive. Hope for change, for better things, and for peace! God grant me the wisdom to always look forward, not to forget the past but to build on the knowledge I gained from it! I only wish I was wiser when I was younger, but as they say it is never to late! Whatever time is left for me whether it be long or short from this moment on I promise myself to make the most of it!

None of the family has read my blog yet and I really don't mind if they do or don't. I am writing more for me as it seems to be therapeutic. I should have started a journal a long time ago. Having the laptop and nothing else to do makes it easier too. I am getting addicted to milkshakes though. I am getting into the habit of making one after dinner and typing my blog.

Bruce gave me Kevin Collins address. I have been trying to call him but his phone number is not working. I know he is OK as Maria got a mother's day card from him. Kevin is a good soul and we have allot in common. We just don't keep in touch even though he is living just on the other side of the mountains in Seattle. We have had our ups and downs but that is expected as we have know each other for more than 30 years now.

Well I guess I'll finish for today. There is aways tomorrow for more.

peace.
