What are you grateful for today? Life. Here's a small rhyme I wrote a couple months ago that says it well: When I was young, I'd wonder why bad times would come to make me cry. What had I done? What was the cause? Were these the fruits of divine laws? Now that I'm old, each day's a gift: the good, the bad, the subtle rift. My life flows swift towards end of time and I am glad that they are mine. What's missing in your life? A fully functioning heart. My damaged one doesn't pump blood effectively.

I could estimate the time I spend eating, but I don't break it down into food groups. I spend at least 10 hours a day on the c...

What do you value most in other people ? Honesty, loyalty and a sense of humor. And close behind these three are creativity and intelligence. Don't want much, do I? If you could only see black and white except for one color, what color would you choose to see? Lilac is my favorite color and I love many shades of pink. But I'd choose green in all it's variations, if I could see just one.  Perpetual spring.  But everything pales next to reality.  Glad that I can see them all.
