Keeping Life Simple

Lately, I’ve been very distracted and totally not focused on what is going on. I guess that I’ve been suffering through a mild case of depression. I now realized that its coming across in everything that I am doing. I know that we all go through moments like this. But I need to start making my life less complicated.

Well in his case, I feared losing him for six years as he fought his battle with diabetes.

My dream got me to thinking that I should speak out against diabetes. You see I got to see

Sunday Rambling

So Ken is out on yet another side job. I get so sick of side jobs. Truly I don’t want to complain about it. But sometimes I just want him to be here. We need the money but sacrificing how much time we have with him sometimes is very hard.

The kids are playing upstairs. They are simply used to him not being here. It’s sad in my mind. We spent the day outside playing. I watched the kids ride their bikes up and down the road.

Things in the neighborhood sure have changed. The little old lady that seemed to have pulled
