A fine write Gold. I heard a talk/sermon, unusually maybe, on considering what we should keep, as well as what to give away. It was on the theme of living within our means.

Beautiful message, goldfinch! While waiting for boarding the plane, a young women beside me sneezed and I said \"Bless you my child\". (I always wanted to say that) You should have seen the reaction. She turned, probably expecting a priest, and a gave me a big smile.
Yes, smiling works all the time.

FredPeyer said:

Goldfinch, this is a great poem, a great metaphor of washing off the old and stepping all fresh and good smelling into the new. While the 1st of January is a new beginning, it is also just a new day, and at my age I am thankful for every new day. And you are right, it is a good life!!!

Good write Gold. It reminds me of a hymn, \'One more step along the world I go\'. I\'ve a hymn-poem on it somewhere, though to difficult metre I recall!

Thanks ANDY for sharing such a BEAUTIFUL HYMN and VIDEO ~ By LOUIS ~ one of my fave singers ! A great ambassador of LOVE ~ PEACE & JOY ~ I say to myself ~ What a Wonderful Man ! Thanks more especially for your beautiful Poem as a tribute to BOTH your Wife & Your Life. Older members of our Church (who are in a similar circumstance) also speak of living \"two\" lives ! One in the REAL World (with all its joys & sorrows) and the other in loving (but so often uncommunicative) fellowship with their now comatose Partner ~ and together they thank GOD \"FOR ALL THE GOOD TIMES !\" Thanks for caring & sharing ANDY ~ every Blessing to you and yours for 2018 ~ Your Friend on MPS BRIAN.
