Firebug how is your dad doing? In 2019 I learned that things happen for you to be open to something greater. Many people have predicted that 2020 was the year of manifestation.

Now though I have more aches and pains and think I may need something for the pain I am feeling more alive than I have in a long time. I know some really sad things have happened and I know it hurts and it is frustrating but try to keep your head up something big and wonderful is brewing. Love you

Yes. I have. If this ain't good then why should that be good. It is difficult. I think that is the best reason to start a gratitude journal.
