The 24th anniversary of the passing of my late fiance from cancer is coming. I have been thinking about her and the times we had together. So I thought I would share the poem I wrote for her on the night, I proposed to her.

I can see the heavens

as they shine...

YAY! I can still ride a bike. I have not been able to ride a bicycle in close to 20 years. I am so happy to have a new form of exercise to do.

Starting Jul 3rd, I will be working full time as a Direct Support Professional. The fun part will be balancing school in Aug with work. I meet the guys that I am going to be working with and they seem to be a fun loving group.

janinekittyb:
Well done!!!! How's the job going???
aresdarchaeven:
@janinekittyb I am loving it. It is the best job I have ever had. I worked a 28 day stretch at the house with the guys and loved every minute of it.

I had an amazing job interview with a developmental disabilities agency. I am really hoping to get the job and put my schooling to use. I am looking forward to being able to help people and hopefully have a positive impact in their lives. I really want to help them acheive the goals that they have for their lives.

I just went to the doctor's again. I am now down to 286 pounds. I am so happy to be doing this the old fashion way by watching what I eat and walking for exercise. It has been a long road but I have now lost a total of 146 pounds since 2010. My total goal is to try and reach 200 pounds.

This morning (6:30 am EST) I noticed that as the sun was rising that the sky started off red, then faded to orange, with a brief touch of...

Some would say that darkness is evil, filled with only the most vile creatures of the night. But without darkness, there would be no light. As with light there would be no darkness. The truth is that ... even in the deepest and thickest darkness there is light. Light that guides and heals within the Darkness. For it is within darkness that we can only...
