IT’S SUNDAY !!
I look forward to this day all winter long. The 15th of March is a turning point for me. Every year it seems to be the same. From this point on I’ll begin to feel a little better and be more awake each day. The days will grow longer and we’ll have more sunshine. My days of wanting to hibernate are at last over. What a great feeling it is!
As always, it is my R&R day. Refreshed and renewed for another work week. I’ll relax and replenish my energy so I can do my best. My best might be some people’s worst, but it is what it is. I just thank the good Lord I can do it.
I’ll be off to church this morning and will be praying for all of you.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
GOD BLESS YOU !
