When It’s Your Turn

Merry Christmas! I’m home. Drove 12 hours from Texas to Missouri yesterday. I’ve always loved a good solo road trip. Especially now. It’s a little bit like walking for me. Instead of thinking about things, I don’t think of much at all. I remember after Dad died how being in the car – suspended somewhere in-between – allowed me to quiet my mind, rest, breathe. Still a welcome reprieve.

I woke up this morning to a lighter heart and more sweet messages and it made me realize grace is already at work again. When Sister and I were walking around Town Lake the other day, I told her I didn’t know how I’d ever thank her. Then I stopped and said, “Well, I’ll just do the same for you when it’s your turn.” Which made us both think of this long-ago video of Cooper when he was a little sick:

I promise when it’s YOUR turn – no matter what life brings – I’ll be there for you like you’ve been here for me.

  6. Hi Peachy
    So good to talk to you last night. You bring such humor into difficult situations, and it is so you to keep on moving…forward. You are a real inspiration to me! You look at life so simply, yet so deeply. You have an inner strength and courage that acknowledges the facts, deals with them, and makes a decision with confidence after gathering all the options.

Currently, there is a trend of combining four-quarter sims with other beautiful sim numbers such as fortune sims, god of wealth sims, year of birth sims… to create unique number sequences that both carry good feng shui meanings and Easy to remember and shows personality. For example, the four-quarter sim combined with the lucky tail (68, 86) is both luxurious and carries the meaning of fortune. The four-quarter sim combined with the year of birth creates a series of numbers with special commemorative meaning. Combining different SIM lines helps create a variety of options that suit the preferences and needs of many customers.
