(Publishing posts from the past. This one hails from Spring of 2017 when we had first moved to Florida and were renovating our first home. Plz continue 2025 commentary following the revived content.) You should because it's true. Pooping was a whole other story. Some other things that have been going on around here - I ended up moving my computer over to our place while we're crashing with Adam's mom to help with staying focused on work during the day. It's nice and keeps me much more concentrated but I do miss the comings and goings and of course having two of the best coworkers ever, read: dogs. 1. Cleaning out the gutters. 2. Cutting concrete, pouring concrete, shaping concrete. 3. Paddle-boarding in the ocean. 2025, lets hit it: I strongly disliked paddle-boarding y'all.

A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark."

There are more thoughts to be explored here, but I'm going to give myself a break and settle for at least getting this video up and posted. More eloquent conclusions and discussions to come. But for now, watch this video. And even if this doesn't apply to you, understand, KNOW that this is happening and have the courage to help a friend or a stranger who may be experiencing it by being the first one to be open, to be kind, to be caring. To go that extra step that is unexpected, to open those arms and your home with no expectations and do it again, and again. It will take time and it may not be you that breaks through that barrier, but you either started the process, opened that window, or at least were one more step getting them closer...
