All or Nothing Day

Celebrate with a story: All or Nothing 

The tenth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Secrets? Angela Goodrich owns a few. Moving to Holiday is her dream come true. As Holiday Sweets' new manager, she wants a fresh start even as she wants to share the truth of who she is. Will she still be welcomed?

Anger issues? Caleb Bronson denies it despite the fact he'd like to throttle his EMT partner's new fiancé for wronging his sister. What does it matter if his anger is dominating his life and spills over on the attractive and newest resident of Holiday?

The truth will set you free, if you're willing to endure the discomfort of letting go of the lies. God knows the pain hidden in the soul anyway...

REAL Jul 15-20

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

A short walk, weeding, physical therapy. I've added stress balls in an effort to improve hand strength. Eating was good some days and terrible others. However, terrible days are nothing like they used to be; they're greatly improved. Sleep was hit and miss, more miss than hit.

Brain Dump

2024 didn't even make the top 10:

Copied from Chris Martz Weather on SM: 

In June 1933, it hit 95° in every U.S. state and it topped 100° at least once in 44 states and 105° in 35 states. So far this month, it has reached 100° in 35 states and 105° in only 14 (data in the maps below are from NOAA.
 
Oh, but what about “averages”? Well, I’m glad you asked. By the measured GHCNd station data, June 1933 was the hottest on record in the U.S. Of the top 10, eight occurred before 1955, and only two have been in the last 70-years:

REAL Jul 8-13

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

A short walk. Heat is miserable; fall is coming. Adjusting my eating, again, for the better, I think. Sleep still all over the place, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Trying to remember how to stand straight, again, like a string attached to your spinal cord, all the way up through the back of your head, pulling you taller; old modeling habit I learned and trying to revive.
