Another Week Alone.
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.

Another Week Alone.
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.

Yes, I too wore the clothes of a businessman (a gentleman is MORE than the clothes he wears) many moons ago before i decided to float my own boat.
The difference in how one is treated in respect of ones attire is remarkable. Same man, different attire, different reception.
I used to think that was down to lack of judgement but now i realise it is just human nature. Sight is of course our prime sense.
Fitting though that you should respectfully dress for the formal and sad occasions.

We are sad bc our list of acquaintences gets smaller and smaller, so let\'s embrace the inevitable, till the day we are crossed off the \'C\' list.
My mother (being the last of her generation) passed away a year ago, at the ripe age of 90, really felt the passing of others as only a poet like you can express.
Thnx

A good write Gold. Oh dear, I didn\'t know to cross one or two off the list. Well, not seen them for years and they had......passed on. I was still merrily sending cards to them! Difficult to know if they are still here, seeing as we go back to 1066.
