Good morning world.A little how I started my day. I awoke this morning to birds singing outside my bedroom, as the morning progressed the birds song where being drowned out by the neighborhood awakening. ai then lay by my wife and justed touched her arm as she slept. Time to get up. I think that just starting a new vitamin regimen two days ago. I have been having trouble with pain from eyeballs down through my neck and into my shoulders. Yesterday I had pain behind my eyeball most of the day. My energy levels have been really low for last 10 days, and I had to figure it out. So I thought it could be Low "T", so I did some research on the web and came across "TEST X180", I started taking it with fish oil. I have to say today is my best day in a while. I even jumped a little rope, just long enough to show Savannah how, Too cool. That was fun.
Mortality of a Woodworker Woodworking and my mortality,something of me left for future generations. A legacy, some I leave behind. Its something that  I am working continuously to achieve. Never enough time in the day, too view days where there was enough covered, satisfaction of worth while day. A day not wasted.   Getting older you look at your mortality, and just how short life really  is. You think how is it that I remember my own deceased relatives, and how is it that you will be remembered. For  without  the the memories of your loved ones you leave behind. Why where you ever placed on this earth in the first place. . .   Your purpose here on earth, for this short time, is to make your small mark of  remembrance  by your loved ones, or to enrich the lives of all the persons you come into contact with.  Bring a smile, bring remembrance. Leave as many artifacts as possible.

Many years ago I was told that it is a good idea to sit down and write out your dreams. Well many years ago I did just that. I am lucky that I always carry this dreams, goals in a part of my brain that wakes up and lets me know that I am either in the process of realizing a portion or I am about to manifest, what seems as a dream walk in the here and now. Let tell you about one part of said dream, goal for my life. I believe it started with what I wanted to do with my skills
