I was sitting here wondering what I was thankful for, and what I had trouble with in my life. Complete opposites and yet we have them every day.

The Thing(s) I am thankful for is long, but here are a few:

1. My family.
2. I do not have the COVID-19 virus.
3. I am working hard on my health by walking a lot.
4. My church.
5. That God is with me 24/7.
6. Friends.
7. Books to read.
8. God’s glorious mountains and valleys.
9. I still have my breath that God gives me.
10. Naps!

I have many more, but you get the picture. Now about things I have trouble with:

1. Procrastination.
2. Not enough communication with others.
3. Not going on walks enough.
4. Motivation, at times.

There are others, but I really need to work on these first.

How about you?

Make your list and be glad, plus work on your list that you are having trouble with.

Another day of wondering what is going to happen in our world. So much to consider. The Pandemic, rioting, debates, wild fires, and facing each day.

So, what can we do to survive?

I have my own list I have for me, so I will share some with you:

1. 99% of what we worry about never happens. Give the rest to God.
2. There will always be storms, but then the Son.
3. There are some things you can’t control, let them go.
4. Be sure to tell your children you love them every day.
5. Never let someone else tell you who you are.
6. Smile at everyone you see. They will often smile back. A win, win.
7. Check with your neighbors to see if they are Ok.
8. Have family time at you house at least once a week, Everyday would be better.
9. Love others as yourself. (Jesus)
10. Never, ever, give up!

I was thinking (gives me a headache) about my new book coming up. I haven’t told you much about it here. If you want more information about it go to: http://www.dougbolton.com. There I share daily updates on how it is going.

I have a publisher who is very interesting, and I am almost done. It will be called, “Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.” It reaches out to those veterans who may be suffering from PTSD, TBI, depression, anxiety, Lost buddies, or war wounds.

At the other site I have been sharing interviews I have been having with veterans. Some are WWII veterans. Those interviews are gut wrenching. Every one of them. If you are a veteran, please check out the site and subscribe. It will give you hope and peace, Plus you will get every post sent right to your in box.

The reason I am writing the book is that 22 veterans, or current service people are taking their own lives every day. Yes, I said every day. Hopefully this book will help them in some way.
