Christmas… shoes and Spirit

Whenever I used to call
someone on the phone
I would ask them;
“Is this a good
time to call ?”
or “Did I catch you
at a good time ?”

Did I catch you at a good time ?… —-> Continue…

Beyond & Behind the Smile…

In light of recent events,
I’d like to pull back a bit from perception
and take a good look at the reality around us.

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to cause us
to take hold of our lives and create triumph.

Count your blessings – don’t compare them…

2 days ago I was complaining about Facebook, yet it’s
been Facebook that has brought me in touch with some
of those who are my dearest friends and loved ones.
Found myself grumbling the other day now that I finally got
the Datsun running & on the road, and here comes the rain.… —-> Continue…

How Many Times Will You…

I get it.
It was early afternoon.
Broad daylight. A lot of traffic.
A man near the corner traffic light where I was stopped
was trying to wrap a blanket around himself to stay warm.
He was standing next to a building that had a slight
inset where he could huddle from the wind and cold.… —-> Continue…
