Good Monday Morning

Hello,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was absolutely beautiful here on Saturday. Bob and I emptied the hot tub, cleaned it and refilled it. I'm really looking forward to spending some time enjoying the relaxing effects the water has. If you don't have a hot tub you may want to think about getting one. When Bob and I bought this house the hot tub was already here. We probably would not have bought a hot tub on our own but since the first time we got into it we have loved it. So, so relaxing.....

Terry is now a college graduate. He took his last final about a week ago and he made a "A" in the class. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Financial Management from Franklin University. He made straight "A's and B's" all through school. He was on the Dean's list and the President's list several times. Bob and I are so proud.

I am heading to the gym this morning to do my daily walk and also work on some of the machines in the wellness room. We are up to 3 miles a day now. It is so amazing to me that I am walking around 12 miles a week. My foot still bothers me a lot but I just push through the pain and keep going. Thank goodness for Advil, it helps me a lot too.

Have a nice day.

It's Friday....

Hi guys,

Sorry, I've been out of touch but we've been pretty busy. The rain finally stopped so the roofers came last week and put on our new roof. We also had a company from Columbus come up and put in all new landscaping lights. What a huge difference that has made. The only thing left for us to do is to have another layer of mulch put down and we should be done. Once we complete everything I will post some pictures.

We were having problems getting on to the Internet yesterday so we had our cable company to check it out and he said the cable running from the pole to our house was installed back in the 80's so he changed it. So far everything is working fine.

I'm getting my hair cut today. Yeah!!!! It has gotten way too long. With summer coming it needs to be shorter. That's about all that is going on here in Marion. Take care and have a nice day.

Time to think.....

Thoughts to ponder.........

One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people.

The purpose of life is not to be happy – but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.

The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed

You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.
