It's just before 7 this Tuesday morning.  Yesterday I was frustrated by a breakdown of my computer.  I tried throughout the day and then later before I went to bed, but I was unable to get it to work.  So I got up at 6:30 a.m. to try again.  My mind was clearer and maybe I was able to get a bit of inspiration to try something different.  Alas, what ever I did worked! So I did my morning ritual (you know, chapter of scripture, 48 push ups and my personal prayer) and here I am catching up to last night.  I was up later because I wanted to watch Jimmer in his first 'real' NBA game.  His team actually defeated the Lakers and He did okay.  Still a rookie, but already has quite a following.  He also has a pretty good team to be a part of.

That topped off a pretty good day.  Had some negatives as in the computer problem aforementioned and I had picked up a sore throat.  Mostly I was just frustrated because the work that I had planned on had to be postponed because of the computer. The good part that we were invited to dinner by Richard and Kathy.  We spent a  nice evening with good food, good conversation and they even gave us presents.  We had stopped at Sharon's on the way and later the 4 of us were able to rejoice together for Sharon.  We are all so happy to see her happy.  Whatever comes (?!) right now 'it is what it is' and it is goood.

Yesterday (today journally) Sheila and I talked about our 11 and our 12.  We paused for a quick moment reflecting on the year past, but now focus on the new year to come.  We have lots to anticipate yet lots of unknowns.  May we all proceed with faith and determination and a positive attitude knowing that the year will be pretty much what we make of it and 'shot for the sky' and land in the trees and not shot for the trees and land in the mud.
