Well Willard is at Weldon's, hunting, and David is at Amy, his girl friend's house, so I have some time and some peace and quite to write my blog and to record this song, Of course that leaves me with no one to spell for me. I am the worse speller on the planet. I can not hear some syllables and most all vowels. If not for spell check, I'd be in a great deal of trouble when it comes to writing.
This is a short coming that I have had to deal with all my life. It was hard in school, when I was going, as anyone my age can testify to. When we were going to school in the nineteen fifties and sixty, there were no excuses. The teachers did not understand many of the handy caps that children ""and adults"" had back then as they do now. Then you were either lazy or you were retarded. I was put in the lazy group. I quit school with an eight grade education. As I look at what I have done in my life with that eight grade education, I have to feel a little pride. Besides raising five sons, I became manager for the first convenient store that I worked for, When the chain sold out to another and rules changed, I then moved on to be a pharmacy technician plus worked the fountain. And when the drug store closed, I went on to be the manager of a deli. The deli was where I worked when I met Willard. Not long after Willard and I were married was when I started having pain all over my body, Sometimes I would lie in bed at night and cry with the pain while tossing and turning trying to get in a position that didn't hurt. After a while of this I finally talked to the doctor about how I was just hurting all over. He run many test, and after about two months of test, the word was that I had fribromyalgia it's some kind of muscle disease. So now I'm on disability. I don't like being on it, but when you constantly hurt as I do and you are so stiff that it's hard to move. Well disability then becomes a blessing. It takes so much more energy for people that have this disease to do the simple things of life, as any one that has it will testify to. A friend of mine at church was diagnosed with it two years ago. I dreaded so much that this beautiful lady has it. But life is life, and as I have stated before, I am proud of where my life with an eighth grade education has taken me. This is just to remind you young people to do what you can to live a life that you can look back and say, I'm not ashamed.
You can be anything that God has blessed you to be. Get up, get out, pick up a stick as I said in one of my earily post, have faith, bring honor to God, yourself and family. Be everything that you can be.
until next time God bless.
