88 Years, Hymns and a Fresh Coat of Paint

1. My mama is 88 years old today! Happy birthday Mama.

2. As I type this on my BlackBerry, outside, in the freshness of a brand new day, neighborhood church bells fill the air with Just As I Am, one of my mama's favorite hymns. I can see her in her kitchen sitting in an oak ladder back chair, sorting a pile of laundry and singing Just As I Am.

3. I smile with satisfaction at the completion of a job I have been trying to get to for months. The crisp white paint is a cheerful finishing touch to the baseboards surrounding the new dining room floor.
