FIGHT FOR PEACE
Make this your new year's resolution: In 2022, I will fight for my peace of mind. Is fighting for peace an oxymoron? No, not when the enemy is keeping me awake all night fighting negative thoughts. Please don't tell me that I need to stop having negative sleep-deprived thoughts and think myself peacefully off to sleep. I just and finally realized that I am my own worst enemy. It’s Dec 31, 2021 and sleep seems out-of-control and tonight chaos reigns. Where is my peace of mind when I need it? My peace of mind must be asleep but it is time to wake up!

Inconceivable
Wake Up, wake up. The morning of November 24th; I feel the nightmare of death intrude my life once again. This unsuspecting nightmare began with a phone call from Chicago, Illinois. The voice of my daughter-in-law, Laurie, tells me that there has been an accident and my son Samuel was killed. I can hear myself scream. I can feel the scream in my body. If I stay here too long pain reverberates through the caverns of my brain and the headache returns. A moment longer and the steel strap will tighten around my chest. My heart will be squeezed, it will burst, and I will die.
