My five simple things that brings happy times.

1. Waking up. After all, when you’re over eighty, just managing to open your eyes counts as a victory!
2. Watching my wife wake up is like waiting for a pot of water to boil—there’s a lot of anticipation, a little grumbling, and eventually, we both realize it’s time for coffee!
3. A steaming cup of coffee: because staying awake for sixty years is truly an extreme sport, requiring a level of stamina, dedication, and sheer willpower that few can muster!
4. Waking up another day and realizing my only health issue is deciding what to write about today! The sun streaming through the window brings a sense of warmth and possibility, as I sit with my steaming cup of coffee, pondering the endless topics that swirl in my mind, eager to be transformed into words on the page.
5. Going to bed and thanking the Lord for another day on this earth, reflecting on the blessings received, the lessons learned, and the opportunities that await with the dawn of a new day.

Life has been good!
