One thought to another.....

One thought went from one thing to another thing and so on until I came to here. In the last few years I've lost a lot of things in my life. My wife of thirty years died from cancer, I had to sell our house and my four legged companions that gave me much love and affection went on to new homes. Of course when I look back a lot of negative happenings are there, but most of my memories are of the good times. Times spent with the granddaughters on vacation in Plattsburgh, family cookouts, holidays and even doing yard work. When my memories go back farther I remember playing tag with my mother, teasing my brother and sister and riding my bike that sounded so clankity clank. Not once though do those memories contain the love of, or for, money. In fact money doesn't seep into my memories at all. Now of course it takes money to do anything, even buy food for cookouts, but the real pleasure for me was in the living. The living and wonderful pleasure to be a part of my little section of the universe. Things change with time and now I've got different companions at a variety of levels. Some I have contact with are physically close friends, shoppers in stores, waitresses, sale clerks, tweeters and email friends. The one thing that will never change is my love for them.
