This 1955 Ford beauty is sitting in the garage, just waiting for Spring to get here. Most classic or antique
vehicles stay off the roads in winter. By spring the owners have to do maintenance from them just sitting there.  People are very similar to these classic autos. If we sit too much and don't "move on down the road"... we tend to get aches and pains, and things going wrong. So next time you want to be a couch potato, just remember these classics.  You don't want YOUR transmission or rear end to be "out of commission" by the time Spring gets here.  This weekend is supposed to be fairly mild. Get out. Walk, hike, bike (be sure to bundle up). But Do get OUT! Enjoy yourself.  Keep all your "cylinders" well oiled!

What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re...

Things Get Sideways in My Brain

Sideways View    Do you ever have those times when things just get kinda "cross-eyed" in your head?  It sometimes happens when we least expect it. The day can start out just fine, and before you know it.... everything heads south. Some of the symptoms are:  impatience,  ill temper,  confusion, misunderstandings, or simply "stupid" thoughts. I had one of these kind of days this week.  I won't even acknowledge the day it was... that isn't important.  What's worthy of noting is that most of a day was "lost" to unintelligible thinking.  Now, just to clarify, I had attended the funeral of a man I had known since I was a kid.  He lived a full, Christian life, friend to all he met.  The eulogy was excellent and fitting.  However,  my mind chose to dwell on the "death" part of life, instead of the celebration of life itself.  In the past few years I have been, unfortunately, widowed... twice.   The good fortune of this: ...
