Hello Diary…
I have returned briefly… have been busy getting the home, and the path, ready for the new year, dealing with life’s challenges and the aches and pains of the aging process (no longer 20 years old, 9 foot tall and bullet proof.. 🙂 )…. I also took the time to view what others may have ( and those that do not) should I question what I have… and I do not question what I have for very long… 🙂
I have my library to learn about the universe and me…. 🙂


And, that is not all that I have… 🙂 I’m far richer than the rich Wealthier than the wealthy by far, I have gold in the sun I have silver in the star. I have dreams that I follow That are more precious than gold, As I venture through life Eagerly watching, the dreams unfold. I have diamonds, too many to count With each new fallen snow, As I see each one sparkle While basking in the suns glow. The mornings bring nature’s painting Priceless, a portrait of the sky, Impossible to duplicate Even though many did try. Each bloom of the red rose A ruby, one of a kind, With the bloom of the white rose A pearl comes to mind. Money have I little But wealth I have got, But I don’t fit in with The wealthy and rich lot. And I’m not going to change A wealthy dreamer I’ll stay, Until the rivers, they all run dry Until the four winds, they all blow away. (Larry “Dutch” Woller )There are many who will call what I have “bare necessities” but I love my bare necessities.. 🙂 And I were able to wake up this morning on the green side of the grass, a free spirit with a open mind and a heart filled with dreams and memories, and (with excitement) watched a new dawn arrive with new adventures, so in spite of the aches and pains and life’s challenges it is going to be a zip-a-dee-do-dah day… 🙂
Well, I had better close for now, still much to do as my attention turns to helping (in some way) others to find their dreams.. But I shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise… 🙂 Hope your world is filled with wealth and everyday is a zip-a-dee-do-dah day and until we meet again… May the love that you give Always return to you, That family and friends are many And always remain true, May your mind only know peace No suffering or strife, May your heart only know love and happiness On your journey through life. (Larry “Dutch” Woller)
Thanks for sharing this idea. Take care Anita

May flowers always line your path

And may happiness fill your heart

You have such a great attitude, Dutch! We should all take time to look around at what we have, rather then focusing on that which we don’t have or wish we had. Good to see you, my friend!

Thank you for “The Bare Necessities”. It is such a happy song and it seems half a lifetime since I last heard it.
If we sit quietly and count our blessings, we invariably have a lot more than we expected to have on the list. I currently have a friend who is a robin who comes to see me, and a small flock of blackbirds visit me every day. It doesn’t sound very much, but I really look forward to seeing them and feeding them again.
