Subject: RE: BS: Today Is A Good Day Because......
Even the seemingly "nothing" days are good. Today, nothing in particular happened, but I kinda enjoyed that. Yesterday, my wife and I tracked down two old friends, who were in the same health care center recuperating from knee replacement operations. We'd been trying to reach them by phone for weeks with no luck. The day before yesterday, we were able to visit two other friends who we hadn't seen in a long while.. one is the women I've mentioned in other threads who suddenly went blind one day (after not even wearing glasses up to that point.) She was in very high spirits (she's in her mid-90's) because she was feeling good that day. I notice that she corrects herself now when she kept saying, I'ts so good to... pausing where she naturally would say "see you again," and then saying... "have you here again." There is no way we could have lifted her spirits half as much as she lifted ours. That same day, we went to a picnic with one of the church choirs, and we had a great time, with abundant food and friendship. Got a chance to sit and talk with my Messenger friends Joe and Frankie. And then, yesterday, Joe, Frankie and I sang with the Men's Chorus, and Joe and I shared the lead on a song.

Today, I needed just what I got. A chance to finish trimming the hedge, and then watching a Miss Marple movie this evening with my wife.

Life is good.
