When people point fingers at someone else,

they should remember that three fingers

are pointing back at them.

Old saying

Body and mind

"Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body. "
-Christopher Reeve

"I think a hero is an ordinary individual

who finds strength to persevere

and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. "
-Christopher Reeve

I like Christopher Reeve and especially in "Somewhere In Time".

Crabby Old Man

And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world,
is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

What do you see nurses? . . . .. . What do you see?What are you thinking . . . . .

When you're looking at me?A crabby old man . . . . Not very wise,

Uncertain of habit . . . . . With faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food . . . . . And makes no reply.

When you say in a loud voice . . . . . 'I do wish you'd try!'

Who seems not to notice . . . . . The things that you do.

And forever is losing . . . . A sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not . . . . . Lets you do as you will,

With bathing and feeding . . . . . The long day to fill?

Is that what you're thinking? . . . . . Is that what you see?

Then open your eyes, nurse . . . . . You're not looking at me.

I'll tell you who I am. . . . . . As I sit here so still,

As I do at your bidding, . . . . As I eat at your will.

I'm a small child of Ten . . . . ... With a father and mother,

Brothers and sisters . . . . . Who love one another.A young boy of Sixteen . . . . With wings on his feet.

Dreaming that soon now . . . . . A lover he'll meet.

A groom soon at Twenty . . . . . My heart gives a leap.

Remembering, the vows . . . . . That I promised to keep.

At Twenty-Five, now . . . . . I have young of my own.Who need me to guide . . . . . And a secure happy home.

A man of Thirty . . . . . My young now grown fast,Bound to each other . . . . With ties that should last.At Forty, my young sons . . . . Have grown and are gone,

But my woman's beside me . . . . . To see I don't mourn.

At Fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,

Again, we know children . . . . . My loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me ... . . . . My wife is now dead.

I look at the future . . . . . Shudder with dread.

For my young are all rearing . . . . . Young of their own.

And I think of the years . . . . . And the love that I've known.I'm now an old man . . . . . And nature is cruel.

Tis jest to make old age .. . . .. . Look like a fool.

The body, it crumbles . . . . Grace and vigor, depart.

There is now a stone . .. . . Where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass . . . . . A young guy still dwells,And now and again . . . . . My battered heart swells.

I remember the joys . . . . . I remember the pain.

And I'm loving and living . . . . . Life over again.

I think of the years, all too few . . . . . Gone too fast.

And accept the stark fact . . . . That nothing can last.

So open your eyes, people . . . . . Open and see.

Not a crabby old man . . ... Look closer . . . See ME!

Remember this poem when you next meet An older person who you might brush aside ...

Without looking at the young soul within. (We will all, one day, be there, too!)

A thought for you

Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness,

and at the end of the day you don't look at it

and wish you had painted something different. Author Unknown

Thought for today

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

So I have a title for today. Let me introduce myself and tell you what I like and don't like. How should I begin? That is the million dollar question.

I am a water baby born under the sign of the fishes. I like stream to fish in, lakes, the ocean to listen to the waves and of course waterfalls.

I like all kinds of music and reading. I like good food and enjoy a good steak with a salad. I like breakfast for dinner and dessert first. Of course I would not be in the family if I didn't like ice cream. Vanilla first, rocky road, pistachio, lemon just don't add anthing on it but once in awhile a cone.

I love being in the nusery at church and sometimes I even like their parents. I like small dogs and cats, fishes.

My favorite place to eat is In and Out burger, Applebee's, and at home. I like seeing the stars, sleeping out doors, being with friends (to a point), and relaxing.

So I am what I am. Just don't gossip around me and spread lies.

So today will be my best day so far and if you ask how I am I will tell you, alive and thankful to be so.

Best Day

Well it should say help me be creative.

Today I set up a blog. How I will use it I am not sure. Maybe my daughter can help me creative.
