Though at times, in Florida, it feels like it. In many ways, these last 6 months have been pretty hot and I do mean the hellish kind. Hal has searched for jobs from G'ville to surrounding areas to far off areas. All with very little luck, it's time to implement a new plan though it's been hard to come up with one with the added stress of my doctor finding that I had an enlarged thyroid that required a closer look. I had the biopsy and awaited the results. Today, those came in and were good. Good news, something that has been vacant this month. We hope this is a turn in the tide. I've learned over these months what is important which is something I have always known but seldom make a big deal over. The important stuff is certainly not our material possessions, our titles or even those grand achievements we work so hard to attain. What is really important are things we can't really see. Ideals, morals, hmm, whatever you would like to call them. At least, that's what's important to me. Keeping faith in the hard times and not being completely angry at what life throws your way. But accepting the challenge and getting over the mountain. My life has been blessed far beyond what I can recognize and so I know that "No, it is not hot as hell" God will carry us through these times and it will be all the sweeter to know that He did.
