While 2009 ended really bad, with my Dad, my Aunt, and my Mother-in-law all passing away in December, leaving me with a head full of brain fog, the year wasn't a total disaster.
Some things really lifted my spirit through the whole year. Facebook just added a lot of joy to the year. I loved high school. Shoot, I even loved grade school.
As a result I enjoy reconnecting with old friends from school.I met a ton of old friends from school, and even old church friends that I am now able to stay in contact with. A few months ago I got a friend request with a note asking if I was Deon Unthank who attended Wilson Grade School in East Saint Louis, IL back in 19XX. I replied that I was and low and behold my old friend David, whom I haven't seen or heard from in probably 50 years had made contact with me. Wow, did we shared some memories. I found an old friend from jr. high school who dropped out of school at her sophomore year and I hadn't seen or heard from her in 46 years. I found a lot of high school friends and I love to hear how their lives turned out. Some have gone on to be as successful as I thought they would be, and I'm sure that others thought, "Gee, I thought Deon would be much more successful than he is". The best thing is that I have more hair than some of those really good looking guys from high school. I found the first Tenor for the Sunday Edition. I found a high school friend who is really in to showing pure breed dogs. I thought that was really interesting. Some of the girls from high school still look pretty good, but some of my old girlfriends make me really appreciate the wonderful woman I married. Facebook has been great.
2009 was a fairly good year for the Sunday Edition because we were busier than the year before and I think our sound has matured a little. We stumbled upon Glen Bates last year as a song writer. I knew Glen, but not so much as a songwriter. Well, Glen took an interest in writing some songs for us and all I can say is WOW. Thanks Glen for listening to God about writing, and about writing some songs for us. Glen was a true blessing to me in 2009.
In 2009, I discovered the Food Channel. Since Susan can no longer make her way around the kitchen, I am the cook in this family. I have learned so much about cooking from the food channel that I am just having a ball experimenting. Susan may not be as happy about some of my experiments, but the dogs love the leftovers.
As bad as 2009 ended for me, as I look back and see that the year wasn't a total waste. Thank you Lord for your blessings on me. (Now that would be a good song)
