Post Office, Baby!

I made it to the Post Office this morning! In the rain! Felt good. Wasn't sure if I was sweating or it was the rain, sitting here, it is definitely sweat. Not that you needed to read that but it feels good. I had a great walk. Listened to one of my wife's favorite groups: Abba. I know but it is kind of bouncy and cheery in a non-heterosexual way... If you know what I mean. Quit laughing! I know you are. Mother's Day was interesting. I botched things up, as always, and it wasn't the way it should have been. Had all the single kids there for church. It was great. Nice to be together as almost a whole family. I can it if we had our whole family together; we would take up 2 full rows with all the kids, wives and grandkids. It's cool to see how the generations keep growing. I have a son that drives truck. Tough life. I admire him for doing that to provide for his family but he is missing so much. I hope he can figure out how to get home and watch his little girls grow up. I remember I had a job where I was traveling every week. I did that a couple of times, once for ServiceMaster (no longer in business, at least the part I was doing) and then a company after the company shut down. At least SM covered my expenses and the other one didn't. Tough life. I wouldn't want to do that again. Traveling gets old, fast. I missed my kids and more than anything, I missed my sweet wife, her smile, her hugs and her goodness. Well, I had better get going. I think we need to stretch ourselves in the church, in our lives, spiritually. We need to constantly be reaching for new heights and seeking new guidance and inspiration, sort of like reaching the Post Office, baby!
