Dave, Thank You for your words of encouragement. There are so many out there whose riggers make mine seem like a mere diversion. Having spent months in 2 different rehab/nursing homes I spent times with different generations. Although I received a BA in History over 30 years ago, It seemed to me to be surrounded by so many wasted minds, often forgotten or ignored. Some of the cute Grandmas dress up for every meal, humming 'String Of Pearls' or the like to preserve a happy and simplier time plaqued not by timeless degeneration. I loved flirting with these ageless souls. Coaching a mere smile or a shimmerling glint in the still beautiful blue eves. I picked the recollection of a quiet Gentleman who survived the initial landing at Iwo Jima. His fineness hour that I cannot even imagine! I'm 55 and He had over 30 more years of of life and these our greatest sources are often innored. Pain is a mear distraction that can be alleviated with a single needle, lonliness is much more dibilitating and deadly. I Thank You and pray that each of us never ignore our past as we eventually will relive it! Make it pleasant! For You are the screivener of your own future and past! Make every moment count!
