Off and Running

My stepson and his girlfriend left for Germany this afternoon and for me that officially signals the end of the holiday season. It was great to have them home and especially great to have Andy (my stepson) out of Iraq.

Life is much different there from what I am used to in the good old USA. My stepson has given me the gift of understanding a little more about the world and about what war time is truly like.

I have never wanted for much in my own life though I am sure that at certain points I felt as though my life was quite a struggle.

In perspective though my life has been crammed full of abundance...I just couldn't always see it. Andy has opened my eyes to a lot regarding that.

As for me I am looking over the last few weeks of family and fun. Regarding the death of a former President and of a dictator who brought death and destruction to many and now getting ready to dig in and get going on what I want to bring to the world.

I will not ever reach the level of a President or thank goodness a dictator but I have the opportunity to leave this world a better place that I entered it and that's what I intend to do.
