We, the Brooks, went to a coffee shop this morning as the first of two events for Jonathon’s Birthday Celebration. What nice people and a lovely atmosphere at the Green Mug in Cobden. Good cookies too. Jonathon attracts good people…he is a good person. He is unfailingly kind and considerate. Jonathon has more friends than you can count on all of your fingers and toes.

Jonathon does not return hurt for hurt…he returns kindness. Jonathon is the kind of friend you throw a birthday party for. Jonathon is a guileless, happy person in the face of reversal.

I am watching a Horror series on Netflix titled Something Bad Is Going To Happen. A lovely couple is to be married in a few days. They drive to the groom’s family home. The groom’s family is rich. They are exceedingly strange. The thesis is to find your soulmate. The answer to the hypothesis may be to drink a terrible drink, including a pinky toe. Life brings its own unique challenges to each of us.

I enjoy studying the rocky cliffs of Giant City State Park. Such is our journey with many twists, turns, and precipices. All is never lost as long as we stay on the path. Love makes all things whole.

Jonathon is a Good Seeker. He sees the best in all he meets. He brings out the best in us. No gossip. No backbiting. Jonathon has words of hope for the hopeless.

Happy #42, Jonathon!
