Today in History

1973. I was born. (Thanks, Mom & Dad!)
And yes, I was bald until I was 2 years old.


Remembering the title of my blog, I resolve to ENJOY THE SCENERY of my life. Many things have turned out differently than what I imagined. It has been too easy at times to focus on the Don't-Haves:

• NOT married


• NO kids


• NOT an astronaut, lawyer, or even a professional musician


• NOT sure what the next year or two will bring


• NOT a lot of close friends after being in Chiang Mai for 1 year

But, the more I think about it, there are lots of things That I HAVE experienced, things I DO have, and, even the "bad" things are worthy of thanksgiving.

• I speak 3 languages


• I have lived in many places, met many wonderful people


• I have many good friends in the world


• I have learned to depend on Jesus more because I don't have anyone else who goes everywhere with me


• I love living in Chiang Mai


• Email keeps me connected to my family and friends


• I have witnessed the good works of the LORD in various places and in many people's lives, including mine


• I have been spared the pain of a bad marriage


• I can go rock climbing


• All the beauy of nature is mine to behold and enjoy


• Difficulties help me to relate to others and to know Jesus better


• I have everything I need

I want to embrace my life and go forward hand in hand with Christ Jesus, my Savior and Lord.
