NATIONAL BOURBON DAY
Thanks to Teresa and Tom for their visit today! Always fun to see them, and share in the journey!
IN CONSTANT MOTION
I’ve learned not to hold people hostage to who they used to be. We all carry versions of ourselves that no longer fit—the mistakes we made, the things we didn’t know, the pain we caused when we didn’t yet understand our own.
I’ve seen how easily someone can be reduced to their worst moment, how quickly a past version becomes the only version others choose to remember. But the truth is, people outgrow their old skin. They stumble, they learn, and if life allows, they try to do better. We all have chapters we wish we could rewrite. That doesn’t mean we haven’t earned the right to start a new one.
I’ve watched people become softer, more patient. I’ve seen people who once lived in chaos become anchors for others. Growth isn’t always loud or dramatic—it’s often quiet, steady, unglamorous. But it’s real. And when we dismiss someone for who they were, we miss out on who they’ve worked so hard to become.
No one should be permanently defined by a version of themselves they’ve already outgrown. We’re all in motion, figuring things out, trying again. And if we can give that grace to ourselves, we should be willing to offer it to others too.

OUTSIDE

TEST DRIVE
Due to the March hail storm here in our little community, if your vehicle wasn’t in the garage, it is now covered in lots and lots of little dimples all over them. And that causes your vehicle to be totaled.
Both our cars look like metallic cottage cheese thighs.
So today we did some test driving.
Can I just say… I liked the big truck… but I liked the 4Runner better. We will see what comes of today’s test drives. But even though there’s a Ford in my driveway, my heart belongs to a Toyota.

RED LETTER DAY
FEELING LIKE I WON THE LOTTERY TODAY!
Gods timing is spot on and
prayers get answered!
VISITING
Miss Mayberry lost another tooth yesterday! Grammy went to visit to check out the latest toothy development. I got the opportunity to see some of Miss Mayberry’s art and I got the tour of the garden. After seeing the new tower she constructed, we gave Uncle Mark a call to let him know about the second lost tooth.
Fun Afternoon!!!

HOW IT FEELS TO YOU
“Success isn’t about
how your life
looks to others,
it’s about how
it feels to you.”
