SO HERE'S THE STORY WITH THE NEW "SCOOCHER ART.COM" THING. IT'S A COMBINATION OF MY FIRST AND LAST NAMES BUT ALSO A NEW START. YOU CAN STILL GET HERE FROM THE OLD POPKUSTOMSHOPPE.COM ETC... THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS THIS HAPPENS IN LIFE AT TIMES. MY WIFE AND HER SIDE OF THE FAMILY HAD TALKED ABOUT LEAVING THE PLACE WE ALL GREW UP AND LIVED OUR WHOLE LIVES IN, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE ALL TALKED ABOUT IT AND THE TIME FINALLY CAME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT TO GET PACKED UP AND I WAS WORRIED ABOUT TRAVELING AS MY HEALTH WAS NOT GREAT AT THE TIME (IT'S IMPROVING NOW). I HAD TO LEAVE IT MOSTLY IN THE HANDS OF MY FAMILY AND MOST OF ALL TO MY WIFE. MY BROTHER IN LAW WAS A HUGE PART IN PLANNING OUR TRAVEL. OUR NEPHEW AND HIS WIFE WERE THE ONES THAT HAD TRAVELED ACROSS AMERICA TO FIND OUR NEW PLACE AND FOUND JOBS AND SETTLED HERE FIRST AND WE ALL FOLLOWED AS SOON AS WE COULD.

IT WAS A LOT OF CHANGE. I PURGED A LOT OF THINGS I HELD ONTO FOR YEARS. LOOKED AT MYSELF AND MY LIFE AND WHERE IT WAS. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT OUR THINGS OUT OF OUR OLD HOUSE I WAS SUPRISED AT HOW SMALL OUR PLACE WAS AND HOW MUCH I HAD FILLED IT WITH MY THINGS NOT LEAVING MUCH ROOM FOR MY WIFE. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A MUCH BETTER HOME WITH MORE ROOM THAT WAS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN OUR OLD HOME. IT IS MUCH NEWER TOO. WE FEEL VERY BLESSED TO HAVE IT ALL WORK OUT,

I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT OUR DOG AND HOW HE WOULD DO ON THE ROAD TRAVELLING BUT IT WAS AMAZING HOW MUCH HE LOVED IT. MOSLTY HE LOVED TO SLEEP TO THE HUM OF THE CAR GOING DOWN THE ROAD. SEEING PEOPLE IN AMERICA WAS VERY DIFFERENT AND SEEING HOW DIFFERENT LIFE WAS OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA WAS VERY AMAZING AND SEEING HOW BEAUTIFL AMERICA IS ON THE ROAD. 

MY FAVORITE THING HERE IS THE FRESH AIR. MY HEALTH INSTANTLY BEGAN IMPROVOING IN BODY AND MIND. MY WIFE AND DOG STARTED GOING ON WALKS HERE RIGHT AWAY. LOTS OF THEM. THEY BOTH LOST WIEGHT AND HE HAS ENERGY LIKE HE DID AS A PUPPY. WE ARE ALL WORKING ON OUR HEALTH. WE LOVE IT HERE. WE ABSOULTLY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

I HAVE BEEN UNPACKING AND FINDING LOTS OF THINGS I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT AND HAD BEEN LOST. I'M WORKING ON GETTING FITTER SO I CAN SORT THROUGH IT ALL EASIER... MY MOBILITY IS BAD. I'M KIND OF RE-CONNECTING WITH A LOT OF THINGS I LOVED BEFORE WITH NEW EYES. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SO MUCH. MOST IMPORTANTLY I BECAME AWARE OF HOW LUCKY I WAS TO HAVE MY FAMILY SUPPORT AND LOVE AND THAT I WAS NOT BY MYSELF. I TEND TO ISOLATE MY SELF IN MY OWN WORLD A LOT. I'M TRYING NOW TO GET BACK INTO THE WORLD. I HAVE A WAYS TO GO YET BUT I'M MAKING LITTLE STEPS AND BREATHING IN THIS GOOD CLEAN AIR AND TRYING EVERYDAY TO KEEPING MOVING A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SAYING A LOT OF PRAYERS AND ASKING FOR HELP. TRYING TO EAT HEALTY.

I HAVE MANY ART IDEAS I AM WRITING DOWN THAT I WANT TO GET DONE. MOSTLY I AM WORKING ON MY SELF SO I CAN  GET TO IT. I'M SMELLING THE ROSES AT THE MOMENT. FINDING GRATITUDE FOR THE BLESSINGS I HAVE RECIEVED. THANKFUL FOR THE SACRIFICES OTHERS HAVE MADE FOR ME AND PRAYING NOT TO TAKE MY LIFE FOR GRANTED. EXCEPTING THAT IT'S OKAY TO EXCEPT OTHERS LOVE AND REALISE THAT I HAVE LOTS OF LOVE TO GIVE. I AM TRYING TO GET RIGHT SPIRITULLY SO I CAN GET RIGHT HEALTH WISE SO CAN CAN HELP THOSE THAT HAVE HELPED ME ALL THESE YEARS. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST WIEGHT. I HAVE NOT WIEGHED IN AT ALL. JUST TELLING MYSELF TO CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR ME. I FEEL BETTER THE MORE I MAKE THE EFFORT AND MAKE GOOD CHOICES. IF I DO MAKE A BAD CHOICE I FORGIVE MYSELF AND TRY TO REMEMBER IT FOR THE NEXT TIME.
