Turn, Turn, Turn

There is a first for everything and today that is the creation of a Blog. I will try to make this as interesting as I can although my life is pretty much less than interesting. But it is the life I have been given and I will do what I can to make it something worthy for reading, if only for me.

Yesterday I got my CPAP machine to help me control my sleep apnea. I got about five good hours of sleep my first night on the machine and feel more rested than eight hours without it. So perhaps I am on the right track to getting myself back to feeling good. Now if only I can get my thyroid levels under control, my back and knee pain eliminated and my energy levels up, then I can function again like a normal human being. One thing for sure, I have the best doctor in the world who really cares about me and my health and that is a step in the right direction. Thank you, Dr. A.

Today will not be overly exciting for me. I have laundry to do (can't go to work stinking after all) and need to make a trip to the supermarket for some food. Basically, the rest of my day will be devoted to some paperwork that I need to handle for the job and in between that I want to do some work on my novel.

I will be sharing some photos along my journey in this blog so enjoy and comment and I will try to keep things light and fun. The photo today was taken in the Great Smokie Mountains, October 14, 2008.

Song of the day:

If We Only Have Love

If we only have love

Then tomorrow will dawn

And the days of our years

Will rise on that morn

If we only have love

To embrace without fears

We will kiss with our eyes

We will sleep without tears

If we only have love

With our arms open wide

Then the young and the old

Will stand at our side

If we only have love

Love that's falling like rain

Then the parched desert earth

Will grow green again

If we only have love

For the hymn that we shout

For the song that we sing

Then we'll have a way out

If we only have love

We can reach those in pain

We can heal all our wounds

We can use our own names

If we only have love

We can melt all the guns

And then give the new world

To our daughters and sons

If we only have love

Then Jerusalem stands

And then death has no shadow

There are no foreign lands

If we only have love

We will never bow down

We'll be tall as the pines

Neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love

Then we'll only be men

And we'll drink from the Grail

To be born once again

Then with nothing at all

But the little we are

We'll have conquered all time

All space, the sun, and the stars.
