20 Years Old

Happy birthday, Isaac!




Much of my activity for the last few days has centered around the celebration of Isaac's 20th birthday. A group of his friends came over this evening. They played badminton, roasted hot dogs, ate birthday cake, and did a lot of talking and laughing.

This is a time of transition. Isaac graduated from our local community college this spring, and he will be going to Murray State University this fall. We have just one more bit of paperwork to complete, and then he will be scheduled for orientation and enrollment. Shortly thereafter, school starts.

When Isaac moves to the dormitory, we'll have an almost-empty nest. We will have only Skittles and Casper to parent.

Congratulations to the nest builders.

Thanks, ptg. We all feel like it's an achievement -- and among the achievements of the mother bird, this birthday party and others should be noted.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
