This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.

I appreciate the local volunteers who help with counseling, legal aid, and physical assistance to the women and children that are escaping abusive homes.
I appreciate all of the volunteers, too. As a person who experienced domestic violence, I want to thank you for what you've been doing. Women who try to leave their abusive situations fear they don't have the resources to be able to survive without their abuser. The volunteers who offer their assistance with counseling, legal help, and medical are greatly appreciated.
That's gotta be one of the scariest descisions to make, to leave n be brave on your own. Sounds like the DOVE Org really helped alot of victims get thru their ordeal. Applause...
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

I do too. We have an organization like that here too and I hope every location has something like it.
