I’ve been told several times by those closest to me that I need to “tell my story”. That just baffles me. You will usually find me just shaking my head every time one of them says it. I believe we all have a story to tell. I don’t see how mine is any different or …

It’s not up to me
Happy Friday! What a morning it has been already! The rain is coming down in buckets with no end in sight. Tiff and I are up and in a very "lazy day" state of mind. She is having so much fun watching her beloved "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie. I wish you could hear her …

A starting point
The long-awaited day had finally arrived. In a practical sense five weeks seemed like such a short time; however, in reality I had waited for over five decades for the envelope that was now before me.

Die to Self
