Once upon a meandering walk, a friend and I had a long leisurely talk. We spoke of things in our distant past and once in a while we let out a gasp. Surely the years must have been kind 'cause there's only a wrinkle or two to find. We've learned a lot along the way and some of it we've put away. Some of our lessons are still on a shelf covered with dust and from time to time we think of them if we must. And yes... from each one there was something we learned and wisdom from each of them we have earned. So here we are now more than half way through life... you'd think by now we'd learned about strife. But, hey, we're human at best... so come on and give the jabber a rest. It's time to mellow out a bit and make sure that the evening candles are lit. Let's sit down and rest a spell and remember the times in the past were swell. And when we are finally done with the past we will turn our vision to the future at last. Remember the past if you must, but remember each thing to dust. Get rid of the old and bring in the new for the moments of now are far too few. This is the end... the very last note. If I hurry I can catch the last boat. Our thought for the day is: 'To unthink a thought, replace it with a bigger and better thought.' Gayle O You are a miracle just waiting to happen.
