Hello, blog friends.
I'm home after a great week with my grown children and grandchildren. In the collection of photos below, my eldest is barbecuing chicken, my daughter is resting after her travel, my middle son is all smiles from finishing a 131 mile bike ride, and I'm standing next to my youngest son who is in treatment for cancer.
As you know, when you can be with family and not just communicate through the ethers, your heart and soul can find peace. I am so grateful for the time I had with each of them.

The flights to New York from Arizona were complicated, but I had great reading material. On a whim, I had purchased Forged In Chaos. I knew little about the story, but since it focused on the journey of a Special Forces warrior, I downloaded it and wasn't disappointed.
The author, Tyler Grey, a Delta Force operator for the U.S. Army, brings readers into his world - the good, the bad, and the unimaginable. His personal account is raw and unflinchingly honest. I was captivated, but I've also worked with Marines and Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. I was so engaged in the story that I barely noticed the two-hour wait on the tarmac in NY. 🙄
This is not light reading, but there's a universality to Grey's insights and determination that gave me pause. More often than not, I found myself reflecting on my own life - even though it bears no similarity to Grey's.
I highly recommend Forged in Chaos -- with the caveats that I've mentioned.
