And Rarly Again

When I did the first blog I though it would be a great way to keep a sort of a journal. Instead its been two other things. One a great opportunity to read and see what's happening with family and second a connection I can make at any time to people that I'm a distance away from. Nine months later I find not much of a journal but an opportunity to think about what has happened during the last nine month that maybe I should have written about. Its been a good time of my life for the most part. I've seen my children and grand children many times (always good). My business has taken off fairly well (I've made more with it than my daily job). The garden has been wonderful (see Jeanette's blog). The world situation hasn't seemed to bother me to much (I guess that's because I don't listen to talk radio any more and try to follow President Hinkley's advice to just try to do the best I can). Nathan got married in the temple (I now feel kinda like King Benjamin. My children have all been taught the real important things in life, if they screw up now it's their problem) though it would be to my sorrow. Some other good things. I've gotten to know the in-laws better, I hope they count me as a friend as I do them. I realize ever more that families can bring the only true lasting happiness. Its good to be able to now concentrate on some of my own thoughts and habits that seem to keep happiness at a distance at times. I passed 50 without breaking down too much. The Suburban is still running with a little help. I can now wire a house without asking for help. I can forget to do things and it's alright because I'm having a senior moment. I'm a middle aged man living with a wonderful younger woman. By the way these things aren't in order of importance. I'm taking a computer troubleshooting class over the internet, It's fun. There are to many to name so I'll stop now, I hope you all don't. Thanks, Tim
