A man walks into a bar, shadily dressed in a trench coat with the collar pulled up and a fedora pulled down over his face.

I'm sure you can relate. You're having one of “those” days. Everything is coming at you from every angle, at the exact same time, and you are just trying to breathe.

A fellow reader suggested I re-post this today. So I am. Happy Thanksgiving! I try to count my blessings with regularity.

I love taking walks at the ranch. It is quiet and I get to enjoy the glory of God's creation. In the fall, some of God's creations produce little seeds that become burs and stick to my socks and pants. It is very irritating to take time to pull off all the burs my pants … Continue reading White go go boots
