As that old song goes \"Ev\'ry body dreams about a new world in the mornin\".
Good that you notice differences and life has not become just one more same old same old.

My friend my thoughts are with you all in this terrible situation you describe so succinctly. Went throughit to a degree with my Dad so I recognise some of the emotion you are suffering. May you all have as much peace and contentment as you can. Take Care

One can either feel for you or feel with you.
I choose the latter,

Andy,

In essence, I agree with Neville’s comments!

*OUTBACK* used one of Groucho Marx’s quotes for his posting of the day.
For the past two years I’ve been reminding myself of another one of Groucho Marx’s quotes...

“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”

Each morning I remind myself of the quote and then seize the day! That is the best way I can make it better for myself and those around me!
Che sarà sarà!!

You’re doing your best...and that’s all you can do!

My love to Joyce and to you!

~Laura~🌻

it is a beast that many of us already know only too well.. I for one, truly feel for you my friend and regret not having the answers that you so desperately seek... I sincerely hope you can rest, relax and regain some strength during this respite period.... Neville

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD MORNING FROM AUCKLAND (9pm Wednesday) we have made it home ! Love the melancholy VOICE & HORN it complements your sad poem ~ THANK YOU. Angela & I are still on the crest of a Wonderful Wave ~ but thats how it is @ 31 & 35 and in LOVE ! We don\'t know what the future has in store for us ? We Hope & Pray to have a Family & see our Grandchildren we are just at the PORTAL of LIFE & LOVE. Your love for JOYCE (despite everything) has always been an inspiration to us and always will be ! WE dont blame you for railing at GOD he gave and now has taken away and the Week of Separation must be as aweful as our Week of Togetherness has been perfect. But we will be 11,500 miles apart til OCTOBER ! We can empathise (to a degree) but our DAILY PRAYER for YOU & JOYCE is please dont lose your PRECIOUS FAITH ! When the chips are down *Where can we go but to the LORD ?* ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Love for YOU & JOYCE
ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡
Seven Hearts for extra LOVE this week ~ AMEN

orchidee said:

Would I do the same if I was in you situation? Maybe. We know if we have an easy life, it\'s more than life just \'turning out\' for us lucky - or favoured, or blessed (the words I prefer to use).
An Old Testament view mainly, is that if nothing much goes wrong, nice and cosy = blessed by God; and vice versa.
Thinking of you both still, and in prayers.

dusk arising said:

If the future is to be an alone-ness then you are a big enough personality to make it YOUR kind of alone. You can fill your days with all sorts of company, associations, mischief and fun.
Change is a part of all our lives. You have adapted many times to changes in your life and this ones a scarey one, but you know you will adapt. You are a spiritual man and you have the strength of the trust in your personal belief. And that river.

Setting them free into a world of opportunity yet knowing the greater picture is an anxious time. Best dealt with with encouragement and confidence building. Choice words from mum indeed. Happier times.

Flugel horn first came to my attention when played alongside flute (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1wiShnu2QM) and is a delight to hear here.

Suresh said:

Next time use the old style scales, and do it on your birthday. Have a lot of friends and family visit with no gifts but gold or silver coins.
Then sit on one scale and let them weigh you in coins as a birthday gift.
Then your weight worries will instantly disappear, no batteries required.
