Counting Sheep Doesn’t Work
Going to sleep isn’t a problem for me. Staying asleep in order to get the seven to nine hours of shuteye a night health gurus advise is a problem. I tried counting sheep many times and it has never worked for me. After five hours, I’m up, ready to go, and have…

Hi Nancy. I’m totally in sync with your thoughts about humor. The funniest things to me are the everyday moments and ironies of life.
By the way, I’m intrigued to learn more about your time as a photographer. Ken Stabler was one of my all-time favorite players. Our son played high school and lower-level college ball and is now working his way up the ladder (offensive line and strength and conditioning) as a college football coach.

Thank you for letting me know my mother and granddaughter’s comments about life brightened your day. Yes, I do miss my mother, but she was devout and eager for her soul to be free. I have quoted her more than a few times in my blogs. In fact, my first blog, The Mini Miracle, is about her and it is the main reason I chose to do a Christian humor blog. God bless you, Patty!
