Oh Andy I am so happy for him......... he found a passion that isn\'t in a corporate office watching life go by through windows that don\'t open!!! I laughed at your comment \"he knew nothing about water\"......... that\'s a good one......

Andy,

There should be more young men such as the one you met with such enthusiasm for the work he was doing! Bravo to the young man!

“Brindisi” is one of my favorite arias from La Traviata! Upbeat and delightful!
May your days be bright and filled with song, laughter, and some wine!
Brindiamo! 🍷🍷
A fine write! I enjoyed the read and the aria! Whenever I hear that aria, I want to get up and dance...and then I remember the whole opera!

WINE ~ which maketh glad
the heart of Man & Woman !

Wine like most enjoyable things
in life are good in moderation &
always to complement FOOD ! At UNI
I was in the PHILOENIC SOCIETY
and learned a little of the language
of wine a very interesting subject.
At College we have a course for
SOMELLIERS the students are
generally MALE !

Thanks ANDY for sharing a fine
song and fine wine ! YOURS BRIAN !

Andy,
So happy you’re here writing all these wonderful poems!
I cannot even imagine the feeling of knowing you could have died because of that growth! It is a gift being given a second chance to live. Now I really comprehend why you always see the light no matter what and telling us that the light is there...we just have to look for it if we don’t see it!
A great write for an amazing read! A perfect Louis Armstrong song!
So happy to have met you on MPS! You are an inspiration!

(1) I am very glad you lived Andy! (2) Is this literal? Did you really become positive most/all of the time? Wow! (3) If so, you have found a (drastic) cure for depression! (4) If you became positive because they cut away half, aren\'t you glad they cut the right half - if they had cut the other side, would you have become severely depressed? So many questions! At the end of the day what counts is that you made it!

Thanks ANDY ~ A Wonderful example of \"The Power of thinking POSITIVELY\" and focusing on \"That which is GOOD ~ AMEN\" Thanks for your comment which I found helpful ! If only it were that simple for the rest of us ! A simple operation to accentuate the POSITIVE and eliminate the NEGATIVE ! I am grateful that GOD chose to make me an OPTIMIST and not a PESSIMIST ~ AMEN Louis\' version of WONDERFUL WORLD (and the video) is a perfect compliment to your TESTIMONY ! Thanks for sharing & caring ~ Yours BRIAN ~ The Eternal Optimist ! Please check my poem ~ Thanks B !

Lovely clip and song too - from early days, we remember. There\'s one of my \'twinges\' again - a tear falls involuntarily - from MY soul? You\'ve not \'gone\' yet. You\'ve poems to write, among many other good things!

Wow! Unless you were so appreciative for your second chance in life that you never quite saw life in the same way again.
People with \'half a soul\', maybe the negative half, can be found at church business meetings! There you will find that other \'half of your soul\'.heehee.

I am a fan David Brubeck. I like, \'Take Five\'. They have a nice reggea version of it. It is the same song. Only, they changed the name to, \'The Russians Are Coming. I don\'t know why, but it is just like, \'Take Five\', with a reggea twist. You should listen to it.
Persistence is key

Maybe the sheriff confiscated them - like the old West where they took the guns when folks came into town....... good idea! Fabulous music - they seemed to use this theme a lot in older movies I remember.....

Thanks ANDY ~ DAVE BRUBECK ~ Cool JAZZ ~ muted and ideal background MUSIC for a \"quiet coffee\" Just as we re requested in \"Concert\" to silence our mobiles (I don\'t have one !) it should be the same in \"Coffee Bars\" and Restaurants etc . Love the genteelness of you poem ~ reminds me of the PUMPHOUSE @ BATH ~ All phones in silent mode ! there are lots of Spiritual poems Today ~ Please check mine ~ \"POWER OF THE CROSS\" ~ Yours BRIAN

Such a rare event although we go to a hotel for coffee with proper waiters and starched table cloths, which is frequented by the \'older\' generation very few of whom ever use these darn machines. It is a bit \'snobby\' though and people keep to themselves.so

There is an adage among artists that you can never paint a sky incorrectly as there are limitless variations in both form and colour - no one can ever say you\'ve got it wrong. Fine write Andy.

A fine write and clip Gold. I\'m still in a tangle of moments - is it \'today\' now, or \'tomorrow\'? And when was \'yesterday\', etc?! I ended up with a headache, trying to work it all out! lol.
