Savor Each Moment

        Savor Each Moment

First cup of coffee in the morning is the best.

A cool shower after being in the heat invigorates.

Watching the sunset brings peace.

Take a sniff of fresh washed linens.

Enjoy one spoon at a time of a luscious dessert.

Smile, it gives your face something to do.

Music calms the ravaged soul.

Step Out in Faith

Even a small change can make a big difference.

My neighbor had a heart attack.

Each day you could see him out walking.

        He never complained that it was too hot, he walked early                                                                    

in the morning on those day.

        He never complained of the cold, He layered and walked.

I don't remember him walking in the rain but truth be told,

         I didn't get out in the rain.

What I learned is that the doctor told him to walk to prevent

another heart attack.

He took the doctors words to heart and did as he was told hoping

that by walking he could improve his quality of life.

Last I saw of him, he was still walking.

Flowers or Candy

Flowers or Candy

Valentine’s just passed and Easter.

What do you get someone to show you care?

Personally, I am allergic to flowers.

I LOVE them but the real things make me sneeze and my eyes water.

Synthetic ones are not much better as the chemicals and the collected

dust illicit the same response.

So how about candy?

Glad you asked. I am allergic to chocolate.

Do you know what percentage of candy is chocolate?

Just the smell of chocolate sends my heart racing, in a good way.

However, now I must forgo the delicious treat.

That leaves some in a quandary as to what to give me.

Let me help. First get to know me: know my likes and dislikes.

If all else fails, spend some time with me.

Conversation with a grownup is stimulating. (I taught elementary.)
