Today is a special day. It was today, 81 years ago, that my husband Raymond Corder was born. I’m so glad he was born, and that our journeys through life brought us together. He has shown me a lot about myself. Just a couple of weeks ago he pointed out to me that I am always saying “I don’t know.” No way! I thought. But then I began to hear myself, and it’s true. I’m always saying that about every little thing. I often end conversations by just trailing off with I don’t know. It’s shocking. Those are not words I want to express. I don’t want that belief growing in my brain, because the truth is I do know! I know or will come to know everything I need to know and understand. That’s my confession. I choose to state that!  I appreciate the awareness Ray brought to me, and how we’ve been able to laugh about it.
 
And I appreciate a lot more about Ray. I’ll share a bit of him with you—you can read about him here: Raymond Corder: Some of the Stories Behind the Man
