thank god...

thank God for phones and friends!!!    my son called me this morn about 1:30am    i didn't reach the phone in time and i was too tired to call back    he did call again a few moments ago   we had a good chat   thank goodness he can call from over there   it sure eases the stress of him being there    we had a good chat about him coming home in May as well as when he'll actually get out of the Army all together -that's at least a couple years away thank goodness     he then wants to become a cop, which he has always wanted    he'll come back here to ABQ to live near me    hmmm, i just remembered   i always and still want to be a cop myself    now i can have that experience thru him:-)     anyhows,   it was great to chat with him this morn....

now yesterday i had 3 sparks for my day    first i went to the Art Design College here to check out their program for photography    i can get the money to go, but now i just need to be accepted   the counselor seemed pretty positive about that    there are a few things to be done to get accepted but all those things have been initiated to get taken care of    so i' hope to know within a few weeks    i could start school as early as end of May    it's all sooo exciting, but it scared the hell out of me too   it's been tooo long since being in school, or so it seems    but for photography, it'll be a blast.....now the second spark of the day was the money to work on my motorbike came in and i had a few extra bucks to buy those chaps   if all goes well, i'll be riding my bike to Ft Worth, TX about 8-9hr ride from here   my niece gets married the first weekend in April    i look forward to the wedding and now the ride.....now the third spark, but not the least, was a phone chat with my friend M    just hanging out with her, whether on the phone or otherwise, always gives me a spark    what a friend!!   Life is just not the same without her    she always gives good sound advice with tender loving care    she's a gem    thank God for true friends!!!
