Birthday

Today September 18th, 2010 is my 55th birthday. I had a wonderful day hanging out with friends, going to a wedding, and coming back to the house for turtle cheese cake( thanks Heath), and ice cream cake. I don't feel 55, and I accept my age. I love to keep active, and love to smell the roses along the way. Sunday we leave for Atlantic City for 5 days. Karen and I love to go away for a few days to rest and be together. I love September as it is a transition month. I look forward the cooler days because the air seems to be so much cleaner, and I like to take walks. Life has been pretty good for me. I am ready to accept the next challenge that the Lord has for me. Have a good day.

Normal Life!

September 13th, and I feel very normal. Redskins beat Dallas, and my son, wife, and grandchildren were here over the weekend. Life is good. I go to see my pyschiatrist today. It usually lasts around 5 minutes while he looks at me, writes out my prescriptions, and says how is your wife doing? He must see that I am doing well. Should I say that my whole life is falling apart, or that I hate Bipolar Illness? No, I believe that life has a way of just telling us, that we are doing OK. Two years ago in August I was mentally unstable, and needed to be put into a hospital. I was a total basket case. Today the difference is that I alow people to help keep me stable. I take my meds, sleep very well, eat balanced meals, and get good outside time. Do I hate my illness? Yes, with a passion, but I am leaving the outcome up to God, WHEN He delivers me. I do and will always believe in miracles. So the next time that you see me, ask me how are you feeling, I will tell you that I am doing normal thank you very much.
Saturday Sept 18th is my 55th birthday. I feel great! On Sunday we leave for Atlantic City for 6 days. I love to take mini trips to enjoy Karen, and the new scenery. Hope to write more later, as this is a great way for me to get my feelings out.

Summer comes to an end!
