Easy to do a blog post today about how crappy different parts of my day were. But instead focus on the few good portions and let the bad stuff stay in the shadows. My nephew Jonathon is 16, and going through the process of getting all his driving requirements completed so he can have his license. He is taking Drivers Ed, which I never took, and kinda wish I had. He loves it, and today he was able to drive on the interstate for the first time. Just love the energy he brings to it, the excitement of something most of us dread. It is refreshing to see the world through the eyes of those that haven't been beaten down by society. My niece broke her glasses today, which is a huge deal since she reads non stop and is blind without them. Good news she is getting a brand new pair tomorrow and hopefully they will be in line with what she is wanting. Stopped at my grandmothers house this evening, helped her with a few computer problems, I can't imagine how hard all this technology is, at times I am overwhelmed by it. But she is a trooper at 82, she is active on it every day, and when I can I don't mind stopping over and helping. Got chance to talk to her husband Bob, he is 95 and always energetic to talk about current events. God bless them, I hope I am in those spirits at that age.
Best part of my evening was grocery shopping at my local publix (will admit I kept looking around to make sure my friend who stopped talking to me wasn't there, didn't want that odd moment, even though I don't know why she stopped talking to me). Anyway, got all the necessary ingredients to make my famous chili, as well as some food to get me through the week. Came home marinated the steak (for the chili), and then got it put in the crockpot just a few moments ago. Watch out, 12 hours from now, I am going to be savoring some chili. If you know my phone number and want some, just shoot me a text. If you don't know number but want recipe, leave comment or shoot me email.
Off to watch some television before hopefully falling into a very somber sleep. God bless and remember to be the victor and not the victim.
