We were walking from our coffee shop
After having coffee and a chat with friends,
And the thought came to me.
Here we were two people in in love
Walking quite easily,
And there around us were others,
Others younger than us
Needing walking sticks and wheelchairs,
And us both nearing eighty years old
Walking easily in our life.
And that thought came,
Aren’t we so lucky,
So lucky in our life.
We can walk unaided,
We have a roof over our head,
And have all we need,
And mostly we have our love,
A love that is so strong
And will go on for eternity,
And beyond.

Gratitude a wonderful thing that blesses the one that holds it. Looking for the silver lining in everything one finds it. A most wonderful and positive message. Glad you have the main things in life, health, love, and physical needs met.
Your words are much appreciated soren, thank you.

Going to the doctors for test results on my bung feet. Looking toward a powered wheelchair, the one that Mr. Bean had looked promising.
