Yeah,going Fishing tomorrow so I am wound up and won't be able to sleep.Since I go every other day I nap alot.
When I get old I will sit there like a mummy and the great-grandkids-oops great,great grandkids will be able to crawl on me.Gee I am old enough for great grand kids.23 year old grandson.

In 12 step recovery it's one day at a time...often at the beginning of that recovery it's 1 minute at a time white knuckle pain. A painful learning experience that over time becomes practical in every day life and with use can become pleasure. I love Meg Ryan in Joe Versus The Volcano she asks "where are you Joe" Tom Hanks replies "I'm right here" she smiles and says "I'd give anything to be where you are"

I was thinking Fog Horn has gone soft in his old age. Haha! Kidding of course! That was a beautiful sentiment from you and it felt warm and fuzzy picturing your dear little granddaughter snuggled against her Gama's shoulder.

I could not believe that I read all of "Living in the Moment" - it was lovely and I am glad that I took the "moment" to read it. I personally am reaching out for more things to make life pleasurable than I have ever done before. Then there are the little things, you do not need to reach out for, they are all around you, like the flowers, and the awesome nature we are surounded with as well as the ocean and the breath-taking mountains. I have had lots of years to get used to them and I can never tire of these little inexpensive things in life.

Good Foghorn. There are only a few moments like that. So, get the most out of them. Holding a baby is just about the most pleasing thing I can think of doing.

Isn't that what roses teaches us?

Exactly, Cupshape.

But that first fertile rose you picture, could be on the "sexy" rose thread!! :)
Cheers!
