Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Monday late afternoon? Mom is doing okay. Last night after dinner Mom really didn't feel all that well. Guess I ate way too much. I went to bed & watched TV until 8:45 pm & then I was so tired that I turned the TV off at 9 pm & both Mark & I went to bed. I woke up a couple of times during the night but then fell right back to sleep. I woke up feeling better this morning. Guess almost 10 hours of sleep will do that for ya. I think that both Mom & Mark needed it after the weekend that we had. Mark really needed it as he has been working since 7 am & will be working all through the night doing a cut over. I sure hope that tomorrow is a quiet one for him as he will be extremely tired. Mom is going to just be quiet this evening & watch a couple of her shows & then probably call it a night. I finished everything up that needed to get done in my office so all is great! I love my new office. It is perfect for me & everything I imagined it to be. Tomorrow will be the day that I get up, get ready & I have a nail appointment in the morning but I will be back during the early afternoon & will be hitting the books. Going to get back on track again. I am ready to go & finish this course up once & for all.
 Yesterday, Mom did hear from Meme. We chatted for about 20 minutes or so. Everything is going well with her & Bob. I didn't hear from Grandpa but I will try later tonight or definitely tomorrow for sure. I will also touch base with Aunt Beck as well & hopefully Bean too. This weekend will be busy again for Mark & Mom. We have some friends coming down on Saturday to get a couple things that we were wanting to get rid of, then there is errands to run & shopping to do & on Sunday Marion & Charlie are coming for the day. They will be here in the morning & leaving around 3 pm to head back to NH. All in all it will be a nice weekend. The weather will be good as well. Both days are suppose to be in the upper 40's to 50's with lots of sun. That will be awesome! Today, the weather was not so nice to us. We got snow & freezing rain. We will be getting more of it tomorrow & also on Wednesday. It was so nice to see no snow & grass yesterday. In a couple months it will be that way again though as winter will be over. Mom is looking forward to the warmer days. I miss taking the pups for their daily walks just as much as they are missing it. The weather is just too dang cold for their little feet & bodies as they are small. The sky was clear last night but Mom saw nothing at all for the moon or stars. I will look tonight but I don't think there will be anything as the sky has been cloudy all day long. I will whisper to you anyways just like I do every night. Smile when you hear Mom & I will be sure to smile right back to you my sweet precious son. I sure do miss you terribly. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You will always be my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will forever live on in my heart, mind, body & soul. 
 Mom will probably have some updates for you on tomorrows letter as I have nothing for today since the weekend flew by & Mom did not spend any real time on the phones at all. It actually was kind of nice. I am liking that I am not always on it. Lets me get more things done that need to be & also I am telling everyone that if they want to talk then the phone is the way to go with me for here on as the computer is not. I want to live life not live life talking through a computer or text message, etc.... Mom is very happy with changes that are being made & happy with decisions that I am making as well. Living simpler is better! I hope you are smiling as you see all the changes. I know you are right by my side helping me along & Mom will forever be grateful for that! 
 Here are a couple small but powerful sayings for the day:
 " If you don't love or use it, it's clutter! " 
 " Why don't we rewrite the stars? Changing the world to be ours."
" If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. "
 Mom needs to get going for the night & get dinner ready for the pups & get things all set before Mark has to do that cut over in about 30 minutes. At least he is doing it remotely so that when it is done he can just crawl into bed & not have to drive. That makes Mom worry less for sure. I will just keep checking in on him for drinks & snacks to help him through. Mom will be back tomorrow again with another letter to you so until then... good night & sweet dreams. Come visit me & be with me if you can. Have fun while I sleep. I love you my bright shining star. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayer for the day:
    May you refuse to settle for the status quo. May you rise up and believe once again that miracles still happen in our day! Reengage your heart, remember your dreams, and appeal to God to do great things in and through you. The enemy would love for you to surrender to your circumstances. God wants you to trust Him in this place and believe Him for the impossible. May you live such a miraculous life that others look up and trust God wholeheartedly with their own story. Blessings on your day today!
