Taken From the Diary of a Contented Man

Taken From the Diary of a Contented Man

 

If I was to die right here and now ..

Then I would

die right here today a very happy

man indeed ..

Now I could have said that yesterday

for sure, and maybe

the day before that even, but thought

it was a fluke back then

        Very wisely put my friend. Sometimes it seems that happiness creeps up on you, taps you on the shoulder and says "This is real, embrace it". So glad that you are in that good place and you've shared this lovely thought.

          I am truly grateful to you Bella ............ Neville

          Well, if you did die here and today, you'd be going out at the top of your game N. But I think we'd all like you to stick around a while longer. 😜
