Good evening friends.

Day 409 here in Puerto Rico.  The highlight of Vanessa and our day was knowing that Karen and John have great internet connections on their cruise. The great thing about that is when friends are away we don’t have to miss them anymore. We could just vicariously travel with them as if we are there.

It is great to be alive on February 22nd, 2016. What a gift today was. Good or bad, today was a gift. We have to remember that many people that were here with us yesterday, are no longer with us.

To all our ELS friends out there going through tough times, I wish I could take your pain for you. I have been there thousands of times, and you are not alone, I am walking with you. If a dead man walking like myself is still around, there is no doubt in my mind you will all pull through. And pull through in Spades.

We do the best we can with what we have.  We give it our best and the rest is in Gods hands. And from there we will be at peace with where the cards fall.

OK, lets close out with two positive notions.

1. God willing we wake up tomorrow. And when we do we get a new start for a fresh day. Yesterday is gone, nor am I tied to it. I am a participant in the freedom of today. The possibilities are endless. I will embrace them with an open heart and Mind.

2. My heart is attached to my 6 dogs. They all give me a higher sense of purpose. I can feel when they miss me and feel sad. When I feel that from them there is no power strong enough to stop me from easing their anxiety. I would give my life day in and day out for them to feel security. When it comes to my 6 dogs or angels as I call them, my heart is big enough to take on any army in the world. My love for them is without boundaries. it cannot be contained or measured.

See you tomorrow friends.  Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
