Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

I Asked My Family Doctor Just What I Had

This year, my wife has spent seven long (to me anyway) weeks visiting her family back in Liverpool, England.  She is coming back to me today.
If my life can be described as a tree with all of the branches and leaves as my personal choices and experiences, then our marriage has been the tree’s trunk and my Hil has been the tree’s roots, binding us to the good earth.  Winter is over and Spring has arrived!

Of Course, You Still Have To Listen

Not all of us are called to be hermits, but all of us need enough silence and solitude in our lives to enable the deeper voice of our own self to be heard at least occasionally.

Before & After

As mentioned previously in other posts, my son and I have been growing our beards out for a year to see what a year’s straight growth would look like…  Today marks one year and one day.  My wife does NOT like my “full” beard and has requested I shave it before she returns from Liverpool (on Sunday).  Since a happy wife == a happy life…
Before:
Winter is coming… (with chin coat)
After:
Sans Winter Coat
