New day, Different light.

OK enough whining. I guess its time that I take a look at all the things I have that I should be and am Thankful for. I Have a lot of good friends at our church that Think think a lot of me. The other day our evangelist Mike showed up at my door with a brand new Queen size mattress to replace the old one with the huge sink hole in it that I have been sleeping on. It has done wonders for my back pain. Oh yea, the other day I mentioned that we were invited to their house for dinner and how I wished that I could somehow wriggle out of it, I'm glad that I did go. WE had a wonderful dinner and a really nice evening just visiting . Our good friend Angie and her Brother Tim showed up. It was a really nice time. I can't remember how long it has been since I was in a house that did not have a TV set. I'd forgotten how nice just pleasant conversation could be.

One other thing that Mike has done for me that I was just blown away by is that when he heard that I had to retire my Guitar that I have had for 36 years because it was just played out and would cost to much to have restored he called me up and told me he had a guitar for me. I had no Idea what kind. When we went to church the following Sunday I was surprised to find that he was giving me his 1981 Ovation model 1311. This just happens to be a guitar that I had always wanted when I was younger but could never afford. Now Thanks to this wonderful man I now have one. I will play it with love and cherish it always. So I guess all in all with everything that goes wrong there is also a lot of things that go right and I have a lot of things and people to be thankful for.

To my Buddy Keath, I hope that the tinnitus is getting better and that things are on the upswing for you and Cindy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God Bless the both of you.

Thank you, Ron. I'm glad things are on the upswing for you and yours. I'm trying hard to see the brighter side of things as well. The tinnitus is a constant reminder to think differently and to relax more. Happy holidays!
