my friend

My friend is sick.  Maybe.  She has been to the doctor a bunch.  They can't find anything.  I guess that is good.  Maybe it's just stress.

This is someone who has given so much to so many.  So much to life.  So much to children and families.  This is someone who is as good of a person, as good of a soul as I know.

So here is some free advice from an old partly retired Methodist...
1.  take it easy
2.  work less hours
3.  go on vacation
4.  go skiing
5.  go somewhere with your friends
6.  drink a beer.
7.  go watch a road race
8.  treat yourself to a pedicure
9.  let someone else be good to you

We who were raised  by Lutherans tend to work ourselves to death.... no need.  Life is good if we take time to savor it.

"There is no duty that we so much underrate as the duty of being happy."
                                                        Robert Louis Stephenson

"Every now and then, one must take care of themselves so that they can again be good for others."
                                                       Jeff Brinkman

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
