Of course I run across videos like this on YouTube and subsequently think.... Ah Yes! This is a comfort to me in this season of my life. Regardless of all I write or think or dwell on or pursue... My life is finite.

The Closing of the Tabs

By -
There will come a day very soon where I will be able to delete all emails pertaining to job searches. I will be delighted to place that check mark in all those boxes on gmail, yahoo, and whatever else. I will be delighted to close all those tabs of websites offering up their wears, their various and sundry. Oh to have a day where my web browser has only 4 of 5 open tabs.  The day where the other web browser has 7 or 8 will be grand. The day where I might not have to go back to firefox over safari or chrome because this web browser cannot handle this web service or web content or pop-up or whatever else is keeping progress from unfolding, that day will be grand. How joyous the day will be to be free to wander about the world wide web without that particular intent. Yes, I will be glad.

Make New Friends But Keep The Old

... One is silver and the other's gold. I learned this song when I was around 9 or 10 years old. Throughout the decades, friends have come and gone. These friends were all ages from 3 years old to 108. Some friends I have lost through death... I cherish those 9 years of sharing life with my 108 year old friend. She passed a little over 3 years ago. What a go getter she was. She gave up driving at 99 when she had a close call leaving the Dairy Queen parking lot.

She put the paper down for a moment to show me how she could stand her cat, "Edmund Pettus", up on his "haunches!" Oh, My!  These words coming from this 3 year old... I thought to myself. She is a keeper. She will soon be 29 years old, and we still keep in touch. It is impor...

Buzzards and Ants

As I returned from my morning walk, I see in the middle of the one way three lane road next to my house a recently deceased by way of tire... squirrel. In the past, kind street walkers have bestowed on me the honor of disposing of dead squirrels hit by vehicles with tossing the road kill into my yard. Not on the easement, but into my yard. So, it was surprising to see that two large buzzards were on my sidewalk when I peeked back outside after a bit that day. Then it dawned on me... they have the squirrel. And indeed they retrieved the squirrel from the road and sat under the shade of the pecan trees that line my easement and dined greatly in the cool of the day. They chose the sidewalk for their meal. They took turns pecking away at the slowly dwindling carcass as I hopped into my car to run an errand. When returning from my short trip, the buzzards were nowhere to be found. I walked down the sidewalk to see the last remains of a fluffy tail and several bones. I head back inside to re...
