Admit it, you want one. I’m worth every penny.

Life seems to be so overcomplicated these days. Too many pitfalls among other things that make our existence even more difficult. Drama with friends, family and the world doesn’t help. I am thinking that we need to simplify and take the complexity out of life. Simple stories with some predictability is kind of nice but even simplicity takes work. How do we take our overcomplicated world and try to make sense of it all. A tough question.

Thousands of people gathered on the Tennessee River to usher in the Holiday season. It was a nice festival featuring a lighted boat parade on the river, vendors, food trucks and music from a local radio station. The evening capped off with fireworks. A fun time was had by all in attendance. I’m grateful to live in a community that does things like this.
