Mom's

Today I saw people and heard from people that bring me joy. Just 'cause they exist, it makes my life happier.
I saw my 'sister friend', Shelly. She's so sweet and inspiring. She always has a smile for everyone, but somehow when it's your turn to receive one, it sure makes you feel special.
I heard from my friend, Bobby, who is somehow always able to convey to you that you are important. Just as important as anyone in this world. She always has time to help anyone who needs it. And, shes good at it, too!!
Yesterday I heard from another friend, one that I've known for a long time. Patty is a wonderful person who certainly has had her share of downs, but finally, she has found someone who recognizes her goodness and things are looking up.
One thing we all have in common is that we are, of course, all women, and moms, too! I would like to take this moment in time to say to all of us, Happy Mother's Day!!! I love us all!!
Of course, not everyone who brightens my life simply because they exist are mom's, or even female. My son, Jaeson, a.k.a. Paul J, also is in that special group!! And I heard from him, too!! He always makes me feel happy to be alive when I hear from him. I'm so blessed, and so proud of him!! And, I love him, too, of course!!!

What else is new???

Well, we've all been there!! Somehow, although everything seems to be rolling along just as it always does, it isn't!! I've been trying to decide whether my Ford, Tempo (4 cyl./1987) is worth putting new ball joints and wheel bearings on , or not. I thought this was my only decision, however since the news of the ball joints and bearings, she's developed a leak somewhere that causes me to have to replace break fluid about every two weeks when the break light comes on. Also, she has decided to only allow left turn signals to be given. And now, the newest, she has decided to not even try to start, yes I mean, no noise, effort or anything indicating any hope of an engine starting, to be her newest response to my wanting her to take me somewhere!!! I think, perhaps, after much research, that she may need her neutral safety switch replaced, or adjusted, and/or, likewise, her selector linkage. Oh, well!!! Perhaps, this is the fates telling me that it's time to let her give up the ghost and be laid to rest! Or, perhaps, it's a test!! Well, I'll investigate, and ponder for a while longer, and eventually, I'll come to a decision.
