Once again GOD has stepped into my life and altered my plans, he has humbled me and my ego. I feel he has been working on me for the last couple of months, as I look back over some of my writings I see he was preparing me now for what lies ahead. Those people that know me , know that I have always planned on trying to retire from the body shop business at age fifty, well I did not make it to fifty as my employer let me go on January 28, I would have been in the shop thirty one years come April eighteenth. I have worked a job everyday since I was sixteen years old. It was kind of weird as I was relived, it was like a great burden had been lifted off my back.
I have spent the last month working on getting my affairs in order, and reworking the cabin as my families new home. Kenny Ray and I have been moving our family belongings a pickup truck at a time. My wife Tari is taking care of things in our city home and is still working until the end of May or til the that house sells. I have ordered our chickens as well as some more fruit trees which should all be here by the end of the month, and in the process of planning the garden for the year.
While I have had some sleepless nights I have not been all that nervous about what lays ahead.
I walk and talk to GOD every morning as I walk over this little piece of mountain land, and wonder what he has planned for me next. I will take things one day at a time and enjoy each day and prepare the farm for my wife's home coming.

Brother I'm sorry for not askin if all was well the last few times we talked..kinda felt like somethin was up but couldn't really tell for sure. I guess all I can throw in as far as my two cents on the whole thing is that over the last couple years I have come to respect you and your outlook on life more than you can imagine. And I think if God had any reservations at all about your capability to make this dream a reality for your family and for yourself...well, I don't think he would've presented such a golden opportunity and laid it at your doorstep. Seems like an amazing severance package from the biggest boss of all for many years of hard work....enjoy it brother, you've more than earned it.
oh and I didn't know how to post on here before so it says anonymous. its Tony
Love you big brother.
