Looking towards the future




My life has slowly changed to a more positive place these days. I have finally started looking towards the future instead of looking back at the past. It is not that the past is a bad place, it's just having a future isn't as depressing as thinking that the best part of your life is over!


I am now in the middle of remodeling my downstairs family room. I have spent the last week cleaning out junk, and still have more junk to get rid of. Michelle and I spent yesterday pulling up old carpet and tile that was underneath the carpet. The plan is to clean up the floor and paint it. The reason for paint is sometimes it does get a little damp down there and carpet and water don't go well together. I am still going to have area rugs in the family room part. The other end of the room will be used for my winter bike ride and exercise area.I am sticking with Beck's western motif and the paint and floor are going to have a south western feel to them. The plan is also to get another wood burner down there. So here is to the future and another exciting 52 years!

  1. Wow, what a lot of work! Next time you come visit I'm going to let you loose in my house! I'm glad you're feeling better. With your approach to life, the future is always going to be bright. Love you, and I love the new picture. Is that a halo?
