Happy 26th birthday Alex! We love you and are so happy that you are our grandson!

I feel better than I have felt in a long time. I love this new medicine that I am taking.

James has been working downstairs all morning grind the concrete floor to make it level before he lays the tile. As I came from the bedroom into the living/family room area there was a huge cloud of concrete dust in the air and also covering the floor and furniture and everything else in its path.

James immediately stopped grinding and opened all of the doors. He took my vacuum downstairs to "cleanup." I told him if he harmed my vacuum I would be getting a new one. 

After cleaning up as best we could James and I took a break before going to town. On our way to town we listened to "Finding Jane Fairfax." James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Home Depot. After shopping we bought food at Firehouse and Panda and went home and ate it.

I listened to "Grounded" today with Jenet Erickson and Barbara Morgan Gardner. It was really good. I love Jenet Erickson. I have listened to her give BYU Devotional addresses and she has been on "Follow Him" a couple of times. I believe she has a degree in family life.

What's funny about the term "Grounded" is it reminds me of grounding. I have been receiving ads on Instagram about grounding. I have heard of it though Kathy Booth, Kaitlyn's mom and Kim. They both believe in it. Here is a brief summary of what it is.

Grounding, also know as earthing, refers to the discovery that bodily contact with the earth's natural electric charge stabilizes the physiology at the deepest levels, reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, improves blood flow, energy, and sleep, and generates greater well-being.

There is tons of information on grounding on the internet. I know that Kim and Kathy both practiced it by going outside and walking barefoot on the ground. There are lots of others ways to practice as I just recently discovered. I don't know if it works or not but there seems to be scientific evidence to support it.

I watched the second episode of "When Calls the Heart" tonight. I would much rather be watching "The Way Home."

We are still walking and reading "Finding Jane Fairfax."
