A new day and a new feeling that things are getting better. That almost overpowering sense that I want to vomit has subsided, and my muscles don't ask me if I am crazy when I go for our morning walk.

My Response to Lisa's Post This Morning
Remember that you are mortal, so seize the day. I've always embraced this type of philosophy most of my life. As my wife posted earlier this morning, my faith...

I am feeling much better than yesterday, but I had to get up early for lab work. I was the first one there, so I was in and out out less than five minutes. Lisa didn't want to get up at butt o'clock, so I drove over to a nearby lake. This is what I saw. God does some of his best handiwork here in... Sign in to see full entry.
