Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Tuesday afternoon? Mom is doing okay. The weather is absolutely gorgeous outside. It is almost 70 degrees & tomorrow it will hit 70! Mom just got in from taking the pups for their afternoon walk. It was so nice. The sun was warm on my face. I loved it. the skies are blue with hardly any clouds so maybe just maybe Mom will have the chance of seeing the moon & stars shining bright tonight. Mom was up again at 6 am. I got the pups fed & thought i would try falling back to sleep but that did not happen. I have been awake since then. I am pretty tired tonight & that only means that this evening I will be going to bed fairly early! Mark has to be at the office at an early time tomorrow so he must get some sleep as well. Today is day 2 of no fever for him. That is excellent. He is still having the cold & cough but he is still taking the cough medicine. Mom is so happy that he is feeling better & getting back to his old self again! Mom has been chatting with Aunt Shirley & she was saying that she has had the flu for 2 weeks, now Richard has it & poor Great Grammy is not doing better at all. She said she is really worried about her. Grandpa said the same thing the other day. I hope that everyone starts to feel better & soon. Aunt Beck & I were chatting earlier as well. We were talking about Italy & such & then she told me that John has sometime going on with his Thyroid. Some kind of swelling is going on. I hope it is nothing & he will be alright. He was awaiting a call from the doctor. Aunt Beck also said that she was woken up to bells ringing in her ear. That is never a good sign at all. Tyler, could you please do what you can from where you are & watch over us all? Thank you my sweet precious son. Mom is just worried about everyone right now. Too many things are happening all at once & everything is all over the place. I am trying to stay positive though! Not much else is going on really. Mark does have a couple important meeting tomorrow at the office. Mom is hoping & praying that it goes in his favor. Please be with him if you can. This could be a big change for us & a good one. The time is right for this so I hope everything works out. Mom's fingers & toes are crossed. I am sure to have more updates in the next couple of days but for now that is all I have. 
 Here is the color & it's meaning for the day: Brown: if the color brown speaks to you, it is probably because you can relate to its simplicity. Genuine & transparent with your intentions, those who have hidden agendas & ulterior motives confuse you. You fail to see the value in twisting the facts when the truth is so much easier to manage. You are dependable & punctual & have high standards for excellence. Experience for success; slow & steady, do it right or not at all. No get rich quick schemes for you & you have little patience for the snake oil salesperson types. Family comes first & you enjoy the comfort  of a stable home-life. Your well-appointed & ordered kitchen is the hub of the house where you enjoy cooking. You find gardening & growing food for your table very satisfying.
 Here are a couple sayings for the day: Yes! You are simply fabulous from your head to your toes!
 Today, try not to be so hard on yourself....Know that you are doing the best you can! You are so much to so many. Yes! You are doing a great job!
 Mom is hoping that this evening will bring you all the comfort & joy that you need. Hope that you do all the things that are needed of you & things you may also want to do. Have fun while Mom sleeps. Come visit me if you can. Thank you. I will light the candle again this evening for you, our family, friends & pets that are with you. Know it is burning bright for every single one of you. Mom will whisper to you as I always do later so be listening for me. I will smile & hope you will be too. I miss you my sweet son. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you so until then... good night & sweet dreams. Mom is off to study for a few hours before I have to start dinner. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here are the prayers for the day: 
  May you determine to travel lighter starting now. May you—with your God-given authority in Christ—demand that the enemy shut his mouth and leave you alone. May you discern the baggage of man-made obligations and lay them down. May you decide to fling aside your own self-condemning thoughts and wrap yourself up in God’s beautiful grace and righteousness instead. And, may you march on from here, full of faith, empowered by grace, and awakened by God’s love, and walk as one who’s been spoken for by God above. May your latter days be far more blessed than your former days. Jesus is always up to something new. Bless you!
 You’ve been in the winter season for far too long. You wonder if it’ll ever end. You wonder if springtime will happen for everybody but you. But here’s what’s true: Even now, there are little sprouts underground, coming to life, ready to break through. Those are your seeds that you planted and that God watered. You can’t see them but they’re there. In due time, the sun will shine, the cold will pass, and life will break through the hardened soil of this season. I know you’re tired but don’t give up hope. May Jesus wrap you up in His goodness today. May you sense His kindness and be assured of His promises. Spring is definitely coming for you. Blessings on your night tonight!
