  I already went to Duluth, MN with one of my daughters and two of my grandkids for the 4th of July, now I want to organize my house and yard so everything is ready for me to go back to teaching school in late August.

I am fortunate to have summers off with my sister, as we are both teachers. I fly to Utah and spend 6 amazing weeks hiking, swimming and stargazing. When we’re ready to spend money, we hit SLC and attend the artists and farmer's      markets, Some days we lounge about the house, reading and eating bad food. It is my favorite way to spend the summer.

Having dealt with health issues for quiet some time now. Hoping nothing new rises up and I loose the desire to be better, healthier, and excited about life like I used to be. Everything I'm experiencing is exactly what was meant to be. Making better choices would be my goal before the end of summer. Better choices that help improve my health my thinking and my happiness overflowing. I'm definitely blessed and understand that there's some one just around the corner who's going through life and 10 x's worse than I would ever be. Positivity is a must to be successful at any goal or desire. If you're not around positive people YOU have to change that situation. Your happiness isn't your spouses responsibility not your parents not your associates not your children.!! PERIOD!!. ITS THE FACE IN THE MIRROR YOU SEE EVERY DAY. 😘 THEREFORE I'VE DECIDED TO LEARNTO LOVE ME. And possibly things will begin to flow with a much better life and I think my health would improve tremendously.

My husband and I are taking action on a life long dream of mine. We are going on safari in Kenya and Tanzania. As a kid, I watched Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom which often covered animals in Africa. I've wanted to go to see them in the wild ever since. We'll be going to the Masai Mara and the Serengeti, traveling with G Adventures. Life long dream coming true!

After husband’s passing, the goal is to start tackling things around the house. Roof work completed. And next the deck project so we can enjoy the outdoors again. So proud to get something done!

Good on you, Girl, Janeece! Wow, I'm probably a thousand miles away and felt your pride as if it was my own! Thank you for sharing and you've got this!
