And I have a few random things on my mind.

1) I love kids. They make me laugh. My niece, Emily, had a dream a couple nights ago that her bed turned into a car and she was driving it. Then she got pulled over and got a ticket. And for some reason, she felt the need to point out the fact that there were black shoes in the car with her...they weren't alive or anything, but it was very important that she mentioned it to me...with a chuckle she said, "Cletus, there were black SHOES in my car!!! BLACK SHOES!"

2) Cold weather reminds me of fresh starts. I don't really know why. Maybe because we don't have much of it in Florida, so it's something refreshing. I LOVE cold weather! OMG. I love cold weather.

3) Courtney's birthday was this week and I have really enjoyed celebrating with her. We've had so much fun lately. I'm really grateful for that. I'm still trying to decide on her gift...we're going to Disney for one night next weekend and that's when I'm giving her gifts. I have a couple ideas, but I can't decide.

4) You've probably noticed that I haven't been blogging about much negative stuff lately. That's because I've realized in my life that negativity is infectious. It eats you up, and spreads like the plague. I hate being negative...so I'm attempting to have a positive outlook on life. It doesn't mean that bad things don't happen, and that there aren't days that suck, but there's something positive that happens in my life every day. I believe it's a gift from God, something positive, and I'd rather focus on that than the negative.

Until next time...
