Where am I?

Where am I/  Often I say this to myself.  I reassess where I am.  Spiritually, physically and I am in my daily routine.  I am trying to stay physically active.  I go to the YMCA 5 days a week and work out.  Treadmill for an hour everyday.  I do look forward to that.  I also use weights a 180 reps three times a day.  I want to eat better and lose a few more pounds.

I want to improve and  train up regarding my field craft especially in marksmanship.  I have spent time in the past week maintaining the PMCS of our vehicles and weapons maintenance.  These are important and only a small part of the big picture.

Taking care of my wife Sherry who is in the final stages of Cancer.  I cry and feel so alone.  No one is here for her or me.  My sons are but they do not see what I do.  They do help all they can.  But only God knows what we face.

Just Catching Up

I just thought I'd bang out a few lines to catch my readers up and for the sake of posterity.  October in the Carolinas is a beautiful time.  I love the fall with the cooler temps and changing of the leaves.  It signals the cold days of winter which will be here soon.  It brings the promise of Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It makes me feel a little sad that the warm days of summer are gone for another year and we must endure the cold hard winter to come.

I have been going to the YMCA 5 days a week to spend some time on the treadmill and to have a little "me" time.  I have the day to day chores of keeping the "Smithson Plantation" up and running.  There are the tings I have to do to care for Sherry in her time of sickness.  It keeps me busy and wears me down.

Woody my youngest has returned home.  He has his dog, Flash who is quite a character.  Flash is a Jack Russell with unbridled energy and pep.  He is such a sweet boy and so pretty.  Woody is living in his motor home in the back and has a nice set up out there.

I hope to get more involved with my SCV Camp and help out where I can.  I am torn with taking care of Sherry and doing other things but I know where my priorities  lie and Sherry must come first.  I spend time reading and I have my church which I dearly love to attend.  Sunday's are a special day to me and I feel the best when I attend services.

I hope pay a visit to Mom and my sisters soon.  Sherry has agreed to go to Hospice house for a visit so I can go some time in the future.  Hurricane Matthew is bearing down on the Southern coast and I pray they will weather the storm and come thru it ok.  Only time will tell.
