Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Thursday late afternoon? Mom is doing okay today. Another busy day for sure. Mom was up pretty early & I did some cleaning in Mark's office for him & puttered around the apartment for a bit doing more cleaning & rearranging. After that was done I got ready & headed out the door to go grocery shopping & run errands. It was so cold outside. The temp was 15 degrees but the winds were 20 mph. It was horrible. I did the garbage, got gas, went to CVS, got groceries & then forgot that Mark was at the office so when I got home Mom had to lug everything up the stairs. Then I put everything away & had to make a couple phone calls & pay a couple bills on line. I am writing to you as dinner is cooking. I needed to prep that before hand tonight. Mom did something to her right shoulder again. It is hurting me so bad right now. I thought that I was all healed up from that but I guess doing something today knocked it back out. Mom is hoping that Tylenol, an ice pack & a good nights rest will help me come morning. Tonight, Mom isn't going to do much of anything after dinner. I will be relaxing with my feet up & maybe watching a movie & having a glass of wine. Mom is hoping that you will have a relaxing night yourself. If you can come visit Mom in my dreams or be with me while I sleep tonight. Thank you. I hope you get to do all the things you need to do & want to do as well. Have some fun while Mom is sleeping. Mom really doesn't have any updates for you as I have not spoken to anyone today. Yesterday I did get Brandy & asked how her day was going. She was on her way to dinner with her BF. He was surprising her. That was very sweet. Guess he is a really good guy. Mom is happy for her & I know you are too. I spoke to Meme briefly. She said that Bob had a good doctors visit yesterday so that was good to hear. All his levels are where they need to be. That is the 1st time in a long time. Hopefully he is on the right track. Mom has her fingers crossed. Grandpa has to go back for more bloodwork & have those 2 tests done in a couple weeks. Mom is hoping that everything turns out fine for him. Please be with Grandpa. Thank you my sweet precious son. Today is Aunt Shirley's Birthday. Hope you can send her a sign to let her know you are there with her. Guess she was sick last night. Hope she is doing better. That is all I have for tonight. I am sure to have more for you during the weekend. The Christmas pictures are coming to an end in 3 days. January will be winter pictures for you. February I will start doing some Valentine pictures. This whole year...every month will have a theme for the pictures I put on every day. Hope you like them as much as Mom likes doing it. Here is a saying for the day:
 The timing of manifestation depends on how much practice you give to feeling good versus the time you practice feeling bad. Say to yourself " I'm on the right path, it will reveal itself to me at the perfect time. "
 Here are the prayers for the day:
  May you determine to be done with captivity! No more rehearsing your failures or rehashing your critics’ accusations. It’s time to remember God’s love, His faithfulness, and His heart of affection for you. It’s time to put all of your hope in the finished work of Jesus Christ. May you put a flag in the ground this day and declare, ‘My hope is built on nothing less but Jesus’ blood and righteousness!’ Rest in God’s grace. Rely on His love. And rehearse His promises because they’re true for you. Break free from the bondage of others’ opinions and walk free and full of faith this day!
 May the Lord Himself establish you in His highest and best purposes for you. May He open doors, move mountains and bring provision in the very near future. May He confirm your faith steps and energize your prayers. He is mighty, He is good, and He cares about every detail of your life. Dare to obey Him and do what He says. He's making a way where there is no way. He loves you truly and deeply. Trust Him tonight.

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand (Psalm 37:23-24 NLT).

 The evening sky is already upon us & the moon is out. I smiled when I saw it. Later, Mom will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for my voice. Smile when you hear Mom. I will smile back to you my sweet precious son. I miss you more than words can say & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You will forever be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live inside Mom's heart, mind, body & soul. Always remember that. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Right now I have to finish up dinner & feed the pups as it is already 5:15 pm. Good night & sweet dreams my bright shining star.

 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
