Eddrenna's mother, Ms. Dorothy, remains under hospital care. What can one do but to love her and thank God for having the opportunity to have her as a part of our lives? She has always proven to be a fighter. I believe the best thing anyone can do for her is to humbly submit prayers on her behalf. The situation concerning the health of my wife's mother has brought about an expected tension in our home; however, I do not say this with any negative connotation, for we have no reason to argue over anything, but today I was determined to shroud my home environment with peace and quiet and no stress and I realized, above all, that I needed to comfort my wife's mind in some way. I achieved this by having the climate cool inside the house, having the house clean and the bed comforter pulled back so that only the cool sheets were accessible. I indulged in a book my sister, Cynthia, bought me for Christmas; Jay-Z's Decoded. (It is actually a very good read). When Eddrenna arrived home I told her I would talk to her about anything but her job or the hospital situation and for once in a long time we both read books beside one another, listened to the local news. We both let the peace of God enter into our hearts and minds. Outside the weather is hot and suffocating. Inside our home it is cool, calm, peaceful and pleasant and Eddrenna was soon asleep.
I pray that wherever you are today you find peace. I hope you, too, will experience the leading and guidance in your life that can only be attributed to a higher power- and that you will recognize it. Let's not forget to slow down and exhale.
Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life.

I love you all.
