Working people are always asking us, "what do you do all day?" The only good answer I can think of is, "whatever we want" and that is pretty well the truth and also the main reason we have so many things that need to be done.

We practice the three R's. wRiting, I try to do a little of each morning. Reading is done anytime night or day. Then doing the aRithmetic, we add in several 'come-ups', 'want-to's', eating and conversing which usually totals out to be an enjoyable and very full day. Some other math is necessary but we don't do it very often. You know, subtracting the outgo from the little to no income kind of deal which sometimes has a huge effect on the 'want to's'. That creates another category of 'thought we wanted to's'. With those, whatever we want to do all we have to do is dream.

Sometimes for a little extra kick to our dreams we sacrifice something and buy a Power Ball and Lottery ticket. If you buy them on a Sunday you can get four days worth of dreams and maybe more if you don't check them right away. Unfortunutly the extra dream time usually gets screwed up by the news media just as they screw up so many other things.

We've read somewhere that miracles happen once in a while when you believe. Just a tiny dab of doubt seems to be a real killer! I think we all could probably stand a little work in our doubt/faith area.
