Births and deaths
Life has transitions, everyone goes from one thing to another. People change and life goes on. Never forget we are on a moving planet with seasons and reasons for them. No one will live forever. Never forget.
As you get older in life you realize your own mortality and the mortality of those who you love and admire. No one lives forever and because of that fact you will make visits to funeral homes and the like more often. You will also go to funerals of people have known for years and for just a little while. Over the years I have paid my respects to many special people who are now in the company of saints. Death is a part of life and there are different ways to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. Some who pass on you expect to because of natural causes or declining health while others die unexpectedly. No matter the circumstances there is shock, pain and great sadness that goes along with the whole experience of someone leaving this life, this world. It was not my intent to be morbid or sad here but to share some experiences of a person who loves many and has hated to see them go on to eternity and to be with their creator. Death is life or its a part of it anyway.
Hello friends, It’s Thursday and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you are all doing well today. Let’s finish the week strong and make our way into the weekend. Let’s do this. Love, peace, grace and awesome sauce.

To those heroes who wore dog tags a uniform and combat boots your service is appreciated today and everyday. Thank you.
(From Wikipedia) Diwali (or Deepavali, the “festival of lights”) is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn (northern hemisphere) or spring (southern hemisphere) every year. Diwali is one of the largest and brightest festivals in India. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil. The preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali falls between mid-October and mid-November.
To my fellow bloggers who observe Diwali I wish you a joyous celebration filled with light, love, peace and fun.
These are my two favorite veterans ever. My grandfather on the left served in the Navy while my dad on the right served in the Air Force. I thank them for their service to their country. These men are awesome!
