So from time to time, I take a few photos.  Okay, so maybe I do it every day.  I'm a cloud fanatic.  I'll often post them on Instagram at @KMcKay and tag them with #cloudporn or #cloudlovers. Last week, I was walking around the lake, with my best friend, Susan, when I stopped for this photo. Susan and I walk as our boys kayak or paddleboard during the week. It's good for her as she needs to get her steps in for the day, and it's good for me as I get to snap random photos along our walks. It's therapeutic for us both as we talk about what's going on in our lives, and we're able to let go of stresses or celebrate triumphs.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul.  If Sammy's eyes were any indication of his soul then the whole world could see through to who he was.  His blue eyes literally danced with light, as he exuded peace.  And, the joy in his heart generously spilled over to those around him. Today, after leaving his funeral - I just want to publicly say thank you to a man, who made a big difference in my family's life.  He'll never know how much he did for us ... well, maybe now he does. His motto 'whatever it takes' wasn't just a saying but a way of life. He did whatever he could for anyone, whether he knew them or not.  If it was within his power to help, he made it happen... and if it wasn't within his power - he'd find out how to creatively make it happen anyway. You were an angel for the short time we had you here ... and now God has promoted you to be on his team of angels in heaven. Much love and respect to you, Sammy.
