Mellow and Beautiful pg:2
I had a good day. I got out of bed when I say I do. That’s always a good start. Ben wanted a diaper, a bath, and for me to talk to the soda fairy. He also wanted to go to the convenience store so I took both him and Alex. The soda hadn’t been…

Walk in the Park
Ben and I went for a walk today. There is a park about a mile from the house so we walked there. As we were passing through it there were some teenagers on a bench and on the sidewalk. They moved out of the way a little and I went around. One of them asked…

Dollar Tree
When Alex got home from his day program his aide was talking about Dollar Tree. Alex got his treats and Ben felt left out. Ben said “Dollar Tree, please,” and words have power. It’s only a few blocks away and we went on a walk the way we usually go. Sadly there was a very…

Convenience or Is It?
My youngest asked for a walk this morning. I told him later. I got him ready a little while ago and his older brother decided he was coming too. I don’t like taking both boys out by myself but we all went for a walk to the local gas station and convenience store. It’s not…

Exercise and Prayer
My wife is trying to quit vaping. She has gone several days so far. She is doing awesome and I am proud of her for making the commitment. She is also ornery and out of sorts. I asked to take a walk today and do half an hour of uninterrupted prayer. She has for obvious…

Isolated but not Lonely
I have a lot of friends but they do not visit me. In their defense I don’t visit them either. I don’t drive so it’s not particularly practical to walk all over the city considering the responsibilities I have at this point in my life. So I go to Walgreens to feel connected to the…
