Terrific Tim. I love everyone of your actionable suggestions. The parents thing is a big deal. We live near our children and see them at least twice a month. My mother is 87 years old and lives in Oklahoma. I live in Washington State. I get to see her about 2 times a year. If you can figure out a portal to make the drive shorter let me know!

Love this, Tim. I'm really glad you and your wife find the gratitude exercise helpful. I'm by no means a 'guru' but I do write and talk about the importance of gratitude a lot because it's powerful and improves relationships. It also hopes people transform their lives. I started doing this with my son when he was 5. I was a newly single parent and he was hurting from the unexpected departure of his father. I wanted him to know how grateful I was to have in my life. When I asked him the first time something he was thankful for, he said, I'm happy you are here, Mom. We continued our gratitude practice every night for years and I'm happy to say at 17, he is a kind, thoughtful, compassionate young man.

As for Raising a Storm Pooper, you'll be great! It' scary as hell but the most rewarding job you'll ever have. I'm certain of that:). Enjoy every moment because it goes by fast!

Great tips as always! :)

I will try out the 2nd tip with my boyfriend now. People need to be more grateful, usually we always just see the bad things in everything (especially in the news). But being grateful helps you get back to reality and the good things in life.

Loved this newsletter so much! Went straight to my heart. I think a lot about the small time I have left with my dog, and how much I might miss the joy of having him around someday. ♥️

Thanks for the reply Tim, I need to figure out what’s going on in my life. Are you aware of the frequency things things that’s been happening with me? Or my interaction with the Holy Spirit? I’m really struggling to tell what’s real and what’s not at the moment and I think you may be the only one that can understand me. There’s so much to tell I really don’t know how to lay it down in text, it’s like one minute I’ve got it all figured out and the next is like there a three people taking control of my iPad pulling me in all different directions. This is only the tip of the iceberg and writing it all too you is going to make me sound like a complete… nut job! So to speak, and I know I’m not crazy but just really trying to piece this together. With you being the realest thing to me at the moment I honestly think you can help, who knows it might even make a killer story!
