God Bless the USA



My Dad arrived home from Italy last night.  He worked there for almost a year.  A health issue cut his year requirement short by just a few weeks.  He had the job of his dreams working with soldiers on an almost daily basis.  I know how special it is to LOVE your job and do what you are supposed to be doing.  However, after a year of being away from his family (minus the time home he had at Christmas), I’m THANKFUL to have him home, back in Arkansas!  I think he will agree with my song choice for today’s Music Monday.


From the 80’s, Lee Greenwood says it best!  ;)  God Bless the USA!
Now, I have to take off ‘Visit Dad in Italy’ from my list… Though I still have tickets to go to Italy later this summer…  IF all goes well, it will be a mom and daughter trip, not quite the gondola ride we were planning on, but we will make the most of it!  Lol!

Why -Bucket List Living NOW?

This is the short answer -

Several years ago my sister and I went sky diving. A day later I visited my FIL who was fighting cancer at the time and I told him what I had just done, his reply - "I always wanted to do that and now I never will get to." Why do we wait until the end of our lives to start living our dreams? And doing the things we want to do? I'm done waiting on something else to happen before I choose ME - I'm bucket list living NOW!



Please join my adventure! If you wait, you WON'T!
