Today, I’m grateful again, for my wife. Yesterday, she graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Masters degree in Sociology. I am so proud of her. After two years of hard work, working a full-time job, and dealing with all of life’s surprises (Can you say menopause?), she got through it. I cried yesterday, when she walked the stage. I am just so damned proud of her.

So today, I’ll be short. Here’s to my wife. She has conquered every challenge life has thrown at her and she is still as genuine and generous as they come. I love you, dear.

Have a great Thursday, folks!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Thankful Thursday – DoorDash

Today, I’m grateful for a food delivery service called DoorDash. I delayed using the service for a few months once the lockdown hit, but when we began using it, I was absolutely blown away. We have a few restaurants that we enjoy and DoorDash works with all of them.

We get food from Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster, Applebees, and Denny’s. Honestly, I’m the only one that likes Denny’s, and ordered a family breakfast one day. It was awesome!

I always enjoy a good pizza too. Hungry Howie’s is the pizza place of choice. So here’s to food delivery. It saves time, isn’t that pricey, and it makes life easy, especially when the restaurants were all closed down. It made making a dinner easy for us and it helped local restaurants keep their heads above water. It was a win-win.

Thanks DoorDash for the great service.

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Thankful Thursday – Grateful for Humor

(The picture above is me laughing with my sister’s dog, who passed last year. He was a crack up.)

Humor has always carried me through whatever challenge I was going through. Be it divorce, death in the family, the loss of a pet, or even a temporary failure. Laughing at a comedian, stupid movie, or a well-done meme are terrific remedies to bad moods, feeling sorry for myself, or getting my mind off of a family tragedy.

I’ve been lucky in that way. When some folks would be devastated by this or that in their lives, I’ve always been able to bounce back. Some would say my sense of humor is a little on the “sick” side, but I believe you find whatever you can to make you laugh and go with it. Laughter is the best, particularly those laughs that are so hard, they are silent. I love laughing.

A few weeks ago, my sister came to visit, and we were looking at the Demotivators.com website. If you’ve never been there before, take a few moments to check it out. These posters are hilarious. Anyway, my sister and I came across one poster on the site and just had a gut-busting laugh. It was terrific!

I hope all of you have laughter in your lives. It’s terrific. Have a great Thursday, folks!

Until next time…
