Recording my days in a small Moleskine notebook.  Even wrote a short blog posts about it here . . .

A Few Simple Things I Am Especially Grateful For:

Being able to sit on the back porch swing reading while it rains and the birds sing their little hearts out.

Being able to enjoy sitting in the stands or even at a table on the infield at the Tourists’ ballpark and enjoy a veggie dog and nachos while listening to great music and remembering the baseball games I got to enjoy there last year.

Being able to wake early, grab a small hiking backpack and bottle of water, and go for a long walk around the lake.

What I’m Mostly Doing Now:

1.) Working on my next two courses slated for summer and fall.

2.) Wrapping up the re-opening of a new AWAKE Group.

3.) Did I mention listening to a lot of The Beatles?
