Saturday Evening Post

Independence Day has families across the country celebrating and the spirit in the air is amazing. Today we take a moment to be thankful for our freedoms, they are far more than the ability to grill out, drink a beer and stuff ourselves as children learn the basics of loud noise followed by beautiful colors. 

Hope your holiday is a happy one, and you remember those that sacrificed everything so we could walk freely.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
