Cooper is the third yellow Lab we've had in 29 married years

Over Christmas, as I drug the old blow-up pool to the road for trash pickup, it hit me. Now or never. Can’t wait another year. Before you know, our 11 year old will be grown. We have a few good years before high school is over, maybe seven.

And I figured nearing 53, it wouldn’t be selfish to build an in-ground pool in central Florida, especially considering we’ve been here almost 30 years.

Life is good. Yes. And… life is hard. It’s the lightness and the darkness we find in the Bible. It’s the yin and yang. Cold and hot. Feast and famine. Drought and flood.

Take the good with the bad. It’s the circle of life. Did I mention (no) we’re getting a pool?

Hold on and please don’t give up

still relishing the trip from two weeks ago

Feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of life comes and goes to varying degrees. What I’ve learned in 53 years is that we are never at a place where we’re done. It seems the only thing that keeps me holding on….. is my grip – the one that refuses to let go.

Life is a juggling act. The more I take on, the more I need to learn to let go of.

If your life is spinning faster than you’d like…we have something in common. Fact is, most of us are taking on more than we can handle. Are ya feeling it right now? Did you feel it yesterday, or last week?

I answered yes to all three questions. Anyone else?
