Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Monday afternoon? Mom is doing the best I can without having you here. Today is a typical Monday. The weather is warm & sunny though but it will be getting dark here for about 3 hours in a 1/2 hour due to the Solar Eclipse that is happening today. Guess there hasn't been one since Mom was a little girl ( back in the 70's. ) Everyone needs to be wearing special glasses to be looking at it as if you do not then you could damage your eyes pretty badly. Mom is going to stay in with mark & the pups just to make sure. I will look at all the pictures that folks will be taking though. I wonder what it is like for you to see it from whenever you may be. I bet it is so pretty & very different then what we see. I wonder about a lot of things as you have told me that the stars are so much different from up there then down here. You told Mom through the angel reading that I would love them & I know you are so right as you know Mom loves prisms & sparkly things...lol! We are about 20 minutes out from everything starting here & it sure is getting darker outside. I turn to look out the window to see if I see anything but I am not successful as of right now. When I went & took the pups for their walk earlier the sun was not near our apartment it was on the front end of the building & all our windows face the back side of the building. Oh well... I take it as a sign that it was not meant to be. 
 Last night was a quiet night after our skype call with Tubal & Karen. They are doing well but have had a string of bad luck lately with storms blowing up electrical things in both houses in West Virgina & in Ohio. They were also saying that their vehicle had caught fire as well. Mom is hoping that everything gets better for them in the next few days. We will skype again with them in 2 weeks like we usually do. Grandpa did not call Mom last night which was very weird but I am sure he will be calling tonight. Meme called me on her break. Everything is fine with her & they had a relaxing weekend. That was good to hear. Phone has been quiet today as well for us again which makes it easy for when Mark is working from home. Mark actually has a pretty relaxed week & not a lot of traveling that will be going on. That is wonderful for him as he is been out straight the last couple of months. He needs this break. Mom will be back to her studying as well. I need to get back into that mode again. I have completely been slacking off the last 2 weeks because I am still waiting to hear back from my instructor. Hopefully that will be soon. I put another call into the voicemail for her & also another email to her. Mom is starting to lose her patience right about now though...... Anyways.... Today is Ron Nepo's birthday & Auntie Kristi's birthday. I wish Ron a happy heavenly birthday & told him I hope you & him were playing poker up there...lol! Please tell him that Momma T misses him very much. Thanks Ty! Go & visit Auntie Kristi if you can. She would love that! Not much else for updates today. I will have more for you as the week progresses. Here is the daily prayer for the day:
 May God lift your chin, awaken your heart, and open your eyes to all you possess in Him. May you refuse to let your disappointments define you. May you instead, stand on that barren land and envision a harvest. May you experience a revival of faith in the very place of your heartbreak! Instead of rehashing your losses, determine to rehearse His promises because they're truer than your circumstances. Today's a good day to embrace faith, to give thanks, and to worship the One who keeps His promises. You've got everything you need in Him. Have a blessed day.

Verse: So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up (Galatians 6:9 NLT

 Here is an inspirational saying for the day as well: I have fought battles, many of which most will never understand. Even when my mind & body have felt weak, my soul has remained strong. I am unstoppable.

 " We are all broken....that's how the light gets in. " 

 Well the eclipse is in full swing here as it got dark. It will go on for another couple hours... right in time for Mom to start making dinner & feed the pups. Tonight will be a relaxing evening with doing nothing but relaxing. Maybe a glass of wine will be in there as well...lol. Hope that you have a peaceful night with all the things you need to get done & want to do. Have fun while Mom is sleeping. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. I miss you so much. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. I will whisper to you later tonight so smile when you hear Mom & I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. Remember forever that you will always be a part of me....you live inside my heart, mind, body & soul.I will be back tomorrow night so until then....good night & sweet dreams. You are my shining star!

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
