Day 7: Real Time
Day 3: 21 day Complaint Free Journey
Life’s events have a way of putting it all in perspective, don’t they?
My 87-year old dad passed away yesterday afternoon while I held his hand.
He was a WW II Navy Veteran who served his country with pride and raised his family as he served.
He came to love country music and country dancing. He and my mother danced their way from their 60s to their 80s, shaming younger people right off the dance floor.
There isn’t much to complain about today…or ever, really, when you put it all in perspective.
It was a difficult day, one of the most difficult of my life. But, it’s strange….I had no need or desire to complain about anything.
God speed, Daddy.

So sorry about your Dad. I can relate to that day when you have no need or desire to complain about anything...all the worldly wind kind of goes out of your sails...my condolences.
